I good airfield to visit with a cracking Control Tower and an Anti-Aircraft Dome Trainer.

A good selection of buildings left on site.

Be careful you dont get the boot from this Coastal Command mural - To see the Coastal Command Gremlin mural take a look at http://www.ww2ni.webs.com

Limavady Control Tower

I visited this airfield yesterday and found a number of other buildings in the hills nearby which will be on my ww2ni website later today.

Limavady opened in 1940 for use by Coastal Command.

I have been unable to locate any area used as a bomb store.

Can anyone help?

Have just had a look in the "Action Stations" book which has a station plan.

Appears to be on the western side of Runway marked 18. - On G.E. It is at Dowland Road and may now be a farm / water treatmen plant or similar.

Thanks Andy (and PNK via e-mail), I have located the site which is now a Sewage Farm.

Only a protective earth traverse remains.

If you go onto the Digww2 Twitter page and scroll down you will see entries from Dan Snow about his recent visit to Limavady as well as a few other WW2 related places in Northern Ireland.
