RAF Tern Hill
About
RAF Tern Hill, in the Shropshire plain, was a flying-training station from the First World War and through the 1930s, and in the Battle of Britain became a fighter base, its Supermarine Spitfires and Hawker Hurricanes — including the Polish No. 306 Squadron — defending the West Midlands. After the war it became a major helicopter-training station. The domestic site passed to the Army in 1976 as Clive Barracks, while the RAF kept the airfield as a relief landing ground.
