  • Were you stationed at any of the airfields or aerodromes below? Would you be willing to share your memories with the region’s aviation society, which publishes a variety of local history articles each month in its magazine? We are currently in the process of building an archive for information relating to both WW2 and post-war military airfields and seaplane bases in the region. We would like to establish contact with people who were either stationed at, have photographs taken at, or have information to share regarding any of the following RAF and RNAS airfields:

    Acklington
    Anthorn
    Barrow
    Boulmer
    Brayton
    Brunton
    Burnfoot
    Cark
    Catterick
    Charterhall
    Croft
    Crosby-on-Eden
    Eshott
    Greatham
    Great Orton
    Hornby Hall
    Hutton-in-the-Forest
    Kingstown
    Kirkbride
    Longtown
    Middleton-St-George
    Millom
    Milfield
    Morpeth
    Ouston
    Scorton
    Silloth
    Thornaby-on-Tees
    Usworth
    Wath Head
    Windermere
    Winfield
    Woolsington

    We would be particularly interested in hearing from ex-servicemen and ex-servicewomen, or their friends and relatives who can provide information relating to the above sites.

    We would also be very interested in hearing from people who worked at or were accommodated on these airfields in the post-war period
