Air raid on RAF Warmwell in August 1940.

This talk is about the air raid on 25 August 1940 on RAF Warmwell, believed to be the largest single bombing raid on an English airfield in WW2.

Well known historian John Smith from Rockbourne in Hampshire will talk on this on Friday 10 October 2025 at 6.30pm in Moreton Village Hall near Dorchester, DT2 8RE.

The raid was carried out by about 300 Luftwaffe JU88’s on the strategically important airfield of RAF Warmwell, which was part of the south coast defence for the Battle of Britain which was to come later that month.

This is part of the celebration of the stained glass window in Holy Trinity Church Warmwell, installed last year to the memory of the personnel of RAF Warmwell some of whose graves can be found in the Commonwealth War Graves in the Churchyard .
