Apartments, guesthouses and hotels were all requisitioned and used as headquarters, administration offices and a hospital. By 1943 the personnel also included over 3000 civil servants. Much of the work at RAF Morecambe was recruitment and basic training, including many WAAFs, drivers, airframe fitters and engine fitters. Technical training took place in requisitioned large garages and factories.
