RAF Tiree
About
RAF Tiree opened on the low, windswept island of Tiree in the Inner Hebrides in 1942 as a Coastal Command station. Its squadrons — including a Polish bomber squadron and meteorological and anti-submarine units — flew long patrols out over the Atlantic, watching for U-boats and gathering the weather data on which operations depended. The RAF left in 1947, and the field serves the island today as Tiree Airport.
