RAF Dunkeswell: a tour of a WW2 airfield - Turret Trainer (8)
Most bomber airfields had single turret trainers, a building equipped to train air gunners, and for air gunnery practice. A typical aircraft gun turret (with guns removed) allowed deflection shooting to be practised against projected moving images of enemy aircraft displayed on a target screen. It is now used as a furniture store outlet on the industrial estate. Further details: https://www.historyofsimulation.com/flexible-gunnery-simulators/

Dunkeswell Air Centre
A friendly welcome awaits visiting pilots or public.
The centre is situated on the old wartime airfield, which was originally planned in 1943 to station Fighter Command, then Coastal Command, but was eventually used by American forces. The 479th Anti Submarine Group were first to fly from here, but the current buildings are well-decorated by paintings and pictures of the Liberators based here in the later stages of the war.
