As you can see on the map there is a tree line avenue, which is banked this precedes the railway line and has a pill box on it, pop down and we can explore it

I've heard that it is possible to book a guided tour of Hooton Park (Trust). 0151-327-3565. According to what I've been told that at sometime in the future there will be a charge for the tours, at the moment only a donation is requested. So for all you doubtors and knockers of this small band of volunteers who are doing their very best to save this historic aviation site for the nation, get on a tour and get the truth first hand.
I was there at the airshow in the 1950,s,remember seeing a flypast of Meteors of the RAF,they came over the aifield and banked towards the river to turn back and one of them banked and carried on and dived into the ground,somewhere near the woods by Vauxhall motors.Hope my memory is right,anybody have any thoughts,on the incident.

Just after the war, they were waiting for disposal, to be broken up!!!! During the war, Hooton was used as a repair base, and dissarnament site. when the planes were dropped off their ammunition etc were removed and placed in a pond just on the outskirts of the base!!!! Wonder whatever happened to it after that, what lies below???
