 RAF Kinloss - History
Land was requisitioned from local farms Easter Langcot, Muirton and Kinloss as well as Kinloss House and on 1 April 1939 with 14 Flying Training School (FTS) on camp and 45 Maintenance Unit soon to follow, RAF Kinloss opened.
Kinloss aircrafts' ability to respond rapidly to emergencies and incidents were demonstrated when in 1967 Kinloss aircraft located and plotted the oil slicks to help prevent the cargo of oil from the Torrey Canyon from polluting Britain's coastline.
Today RAF Kinloss continues to play a vital role in the ever more sophisticated and demanding task of protecting the UK's maritime interests, including those in the South Atlantic and its crews are on 24 hour call to assist with search and rescue duties.
