I'm not sure about the "Hitler HQ" story.
I spent much of my RAF time on a piece of elastic attached to another well known station where they had a similar but more plausible claim. Having given many a "station brief" to official visitors, I hadn't forgotten after 17 years or so:

Came across this thread accidentally. I was posted there in 1944 as U/T aircrew to do my ITW course. I was only there for 3 months but saw no sign of any aircraft.
The only things relating to an aircraft were a few gun turrets which were used to give training on the ground to prospective air gunners.

It is now a very pleasant country park. The only remains of RAF occupation is the brick chimney of what was (IF I remember correctly) No. 3 cookhouse !! This has been made into a very acceptable memorial to all who passed through training here. If I was clever I could post some pictures of it (with RAF ensign and ATC banner). I'm not clever! Did leave there in 1956, however

I just saw this thread. My Uncle was at Bridgnorth in June 1943. Would you happen to know if he would have went to an OTU after training in Bridgnorth? I have his records but no OTU is listed.
