Done quite a bit of research into this site along with some other airfields I am working on. Airfield opened January 25th 1941 as a satellite to RAF Kinloss as a bomber training unit and operated aircraft such as the Armstrong Whitley, Avro Anson and the Vickers Wellington.It closed to aircraft on 22nd of October 1944 and was then used as a Prisoner of War camp till mid 1947. Not a lot remains now no trace of runways but from a old map I got I have shown where I believe they ran. Anyway enough of the history and on with the pictures.
