Full Description
Site of a World War II RAF dispersal satellite for Dyce opened and closed in 1940. Avro Anson Mk.1s of 612 Squadron (City of Aberdeen) were flown here to make them less vunerable during air attacks on the airfield at Dyce. The airfield was abandoned after the war and has returned to agricultural use. A single hut is reported to remain beside East Fingask.
