RAF Murlough
About
RAF Murlough was a satellite landing ground laid out by Dundrum Bay in County Down, Northern Ireland, and used between 1941 and 1945. Rather than an operational airfield, it was a dispersal and storage site for a maintenance unit, its grass strips blended into the surrounding dunes and woodland to hide parked aircraft from the air. Flying ended in 1945 and the land has returned to farmland and dune heath.
