FINDO GASK: Military aerodrome and Satellite Landing Ground
Aerial view in 2018
Note: This picture was obtained from Google Earth ©
It might seem astonishing, but even in 2018 the layout of the airfield is still clearly visible. I suppose having a map of the WW2 airfield helps, such a I have, but basically it was a blunt 'L' shape, on its side, with the 'toe' pointing northwards.
Military users: WW2: RAF Flying Training Command
309 (Polish) Sqdn (Westland Lysanders later North American P-51 Mustangs)
25 SLG
Location: NW of Mayfield, 7nm W of Perth
Period of operation: 1941 to 1948
Runways: WW2: Steel matting: 01/19 1006 grass 07/25 1783 grass
11/29 1143 grass
NOTES: It appears that 25 SLG was administered by 44 Maintenance Unit from EDZELL (later at RAF KINNELL) in the early days and used FINDO GASK as storage for light non-operational aircraft like Percival Proctors as well as 24 SLG at RAF METHVEN (see METHVEN CASTLE).
