Oral interviews were taken in 2001 with ten subjects and they were interviewed in seaside town of Morecambe. The subject was how the Royal Air force during the second world war had taken over the Lancashire seaside resort of Morecambe to give Airmen and WAAFs their basic training. The tapes of the interviews are now in the Lancashire sound archive at Clitheroe castle. Many of the subjects in 2001 were in their eighties if not nineties and now 13 years later many now no longer will be with us. The wartime battle against Hitler and the rise of facism showed how young many of the service personnel were then. The majority were in their teenage years. Its shocking to think that when the children came of age they were busy fighting a foreign foe. That is exactly what did happen and for many of these young people didn't come back.
