History
The Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre in Montrose, Scotland is located on the first operational military airfield in Great Britain. The airfield was first opened in 1913 and used by No.2 Squadron Royal Flying Corps.
The airfield was closed in 1920 and reopened in 1935 for use in the Second World War. After the war it was used as a maintenance unit until it closed in June 1952.
In 1983 a group of local enthusiast banded together to ensure that the history of Montrose Air Station would not be forgotten and the Montrose Air Station Heritage Trust was established.
