 Catterick
Catterick airfield, one of the oldest military airfields in the world, was first used by the Royal Flying Corps in 1914 to train pilots and fulfill a home defence role for the north-east of England.
Between 1927 and 1939, Catterick came under Army Co-operation Command, fulfilling the army's requirements for air support, although the airfield still remained in the hands of the Royal Air Force and was one of those chosen to be modernised and rebuilt during the expansion programme in 1935.
Catterick was used by 13 Group as a fighter airfield, and from September 1939, as a Sector Station.
