RNAS Crail HMS Jackdaw Revisited Drone Footage

- An aerial look at HMS Jackdaw / RNAS Crail. Footage shot in 2022. This video should be viewed in conjunction with my other "RNAS Crail HMS Jackdaw Revisited" movie here on youtube. That movie shows all the ground shots. An amazing place for which I got full permission for entry. Visitors are generally not welcome. The site is becoming unsafe, with hazards all around.
Not 100% sure which is the Institute/Dining room and which is the NCO's mess. Not having a proper site plan, I may have them wrong.
I have many many more shots. To see them click here www.flickr.com... and www.flickr.com...

Love your video - my father was a Regulating Petty Officer at HMS Jackdaw 1940 to 42 I was born in Crail in 1941. We visit every now & then.
Amazing place with an amazing history. It must be great when you visit and get that super atmospheric feel, esp with your dad having been there. Check out my other Crail videos.

When I was a boy, (I'm 57 now!) we used to holiday at the caravan park and walk over the fields to the Airbase. Back then, there were still old trucks, the Control tower was assessable full of electronics very exiting for a 7 year old! on the side of the control tower was a sign "Visiting aircraft only" The barracks had letters on the floor and old pictures on the wall. The Cinema had its curtains-it was amazing....
Looks very tidy.
Nice aerial shots and stills. I will be trying to re create the airbase in MSFS2020. this will be a great help
Glad its of use to you. I have many hundreds of shots spread across a few albums on flickr you can access them all from this link to one of them www.flickr.com/photos/183190746@N05/albums/72177720305411299
there are also another couple of vids on youtube
If I remember correctly it was also a signal monitoring station.
Not sure? someone will know.
what a superb videoo-work.
Thankyou sir.
What was it used for
Torpedo training station with Fairey Swordfish. That was its main purpose during the war. Lots about this station online!
Love it, do you know who owns the land now, could they be contacted to request a visit? 👍
