The water tower was built by the Buckinghamshire water board in 1938. On the 11th. April 1943 a four man crew flying in a Wellington BJ879, struck the side of the tower at 00:15. All four were killed. They were doing training circuits and landings, then tried to land twice at Little Horwood airfield whilst the weather was foggy.

26 OTU was formed in January 1942 at RAF Wing as part of No. 7 Group RAF Bomber Command to train night bomber crews using the Vickers Wellington. Disbanded in March 1946. clutch.open.ac.uk/schools/emerson00/air_mursley_tower.html
