RAF Banff Strike Wing Operations Block Revisited

Thankyou to the owners for allowing my visit to this extremely historic site. A site that really really should be saved. Of all the places I have visited and photographed over the years, this really is top 5! Visitors are not welcome due to vandals and trespassers.
Walking through this amazing building, I found myself surrounded by ops staff and squadron commanders, plotting, TX'ing, RX'ing and directing the strike wing operations. The hairs on the back of my neck and on my arms standing proud.
Please read the history of this station online and in books. Amazing. Please someone save this place, so it can be preserved for our children and theirs.
I would like to thank "Jimmy" for all his help. He knows what I mean. Also a huge thankyou to Russell "The Drone Catcher"
Please subscribe to my channel "Graham Innes"

Visited in December 2023. A magnificent barn all has made his roost in the ops block! The rest of the airfield has a visitor trail with signboards showing where you are and detailing the history of the base.

A friend operated out of here in the Tsetse Mosquitos as a navigator, if it's Banff Scotland. Always being interested in wartime aviation, he showed me some of the operation photos. Quite something! Nice to see the place he spoke about.

given the exploits of the Banff Strike Wing very little is known about them. There was a book about the Wing, 'A Very Private War' if I remember but very little else. One criticism of the book, a lack of maps.
