Dyce Airfied

Beskrivelse

Now better known as Aberdeen Airport, Dyce began as a civil airfield in 1934 after a protracted development period. Its founder Eric Gandar Dower operated Aberdeen (later Allied) Airways, which mainly flew services to northern Scotland. The military appeared in June 1937 when No 612 Squadron formed, initially as an army co-operation unit, before switching to undertake general reconnaissance duties with Avro Ansons. At the beginning of the Second World War Dyce was officially taken over by the RAF and was subsequently used by many different squadrons during this time.
