RAF Wrexham Borras
About
RAF Wrexham, at Borras in north-east Wales, was a flying ground in the First World War and reopened in 1941. It served chiefly in training and in the night-fighter defence of Liverpool and Manchester — No. 96 Squadron flew Boulton Paul Defiants and Bristol Beaufighters from it — alongside advanced flying and target-towing units. Flying ended in 1945, and the site has since been largely lost to gravel quarrying.
