About

RAF Mullaghmore, also known as Aghadowey, lay in County Londonderry in Northern Ireland and opened in 1942. It was chiefly a training station: a coastal operational training unit and a transport training unit flew Vickers Wellingtons from it, alongside an air-sea rescue squadron and Fleet Air Arm units, and it carried the USAAF designation Station 240 in its early days. Flying ended in 1946. The site is now a privately run microlight airfield, with motor racing using the old runways.
