Welcome to BAD2.co.uk!
Between 1942 and 1945, Warton Aerodrome was known as Base Air Depot No. 2. In the three years it was active it processed over 10,000 aircraft and saw over 45,000 aircraft movements. Every type of American aircraft used in the European Theatre of Operations visited B.A.D.2. The unit also processed over 422,120 aero engines, parachutes, accessories, armaments, radios and instruments. The work done here was essential to the war in Europe yet its story, and those of the people and aircraft there, are to this day almost unheard of.
