RAF Dallachy

Opened in March 1943, it was originally used as a training station by No. 14 (Pilots) Advanced Flying Unit RAF, using Airspeed Oxfords. In September 1943, it was reorganised for operational use by several squadrons, including No. 144 Squadron RAF, No. 404 Squadron RCAF,No. 455 Squadron RAAF, and No. 489 Squadron RNZAF as part of the Anzac Strike Wing. Towards the end of 1944, it was reorganised again to include No. 524 Squadron RAF with radar-equipped Vickers Wellingtons. The airfield was closed in June 1945, becoming a Territorial Army training centre until 1958. Units ==Current use==

The site is largely intact. However, most of the former airfield is now used by a waste recycling company. The control tower is in a ruinous state and no other buildings exist. Dallachy Aeromodellers, a radio control model flying club, use a section. A memorial now stands in the nearby village of Bogmoor to remember the air crews and soldiers who lost their lives in the Second World War. ==References==
