History

15 Operational training Unit was formed at Harwell on 8 April 1940 from the No 3 Group Pool. Its mission was to train night bomber crews using Wellingtons.  It was transferred to No 7 Group on 15 July 1940.  On 11 May 1942 No 7 Group was renumbered No 92 Group and it began training Wellington crews for overseas duty.  In July 1941 15 O.T.U. moved to Mount Farm but returned to Harwell in February 1942, where it remained until the unit was disbanded on 15 March 1944.
