RAF Maghaberry
About
RAF Maghaberry was a satellite airfield near Lisburn in Northern Ireland, opened in 1941 under the parent station at Long Kesh. It was used mainly by a coastal operational training unit, a transport training unit and a maintenance unit, and by American ferry and transport squadrons moving aircraft and crews across the Atlantic. The RAF gave it up in the early 1950s, and the site is now occupied by HM Prison Maghaberry and a solar farm.
