RAF Winfield/ Horndean
About
RAF Winfield, near Berwick-upon-Tweed in the Scottish Borders, had been a landing ground in the First World War under the name Horndean. It was brought back into use in 1942 as a satellite of nearby Charterhall, where No. 54 Operational Training Unit trained night-fighter crews, and a Spitfire squadron was also based there briefly. Flying ended in 1945 and the site has returned to farmland.
