GZ is located close to Turweston Aerodrome, which is based on 220 acres of land in the north west corner of Buckinghamshire, just off the A43 and to the east of the market town of Brackley. RAF Turweston opened on 23 November 1942 and served as a bomber training school during World War II. It and had three concrete runways and one T1 hangar. It initially housed the Vickers Wellington and Avro Ansons of 12 Operational Training Unit (OUT) until April 1943, when it began housing the B-25 Mitchells of 13 OTU. In May 1943 they were joined by the A-20 Bostons of No 307 Ferry Training Unit, with both units remaining until it closed in 1945. At the end of World War II, the RAF had a surplus of facilities, and many including Turweston were scheduled for closure. Turweston closed on 23 September 1945, but was retained by the Ministry of Defence. The land was used for private vehicle storage and agriculture. In the 1950s, it was known as MTSSD TURWESTON, and was a sub-depot of COD Chilwell, housing the Army's stocks of Bren Gun Carriers. Turweston is now a business park and airfield.
