RNAS Twatt August 2009

I never take enough time to have a good look about Orkney but 6 years ago I took the time to have a proper visit to RNAS Twatt which is the most complete wartime aerodrome left in Orkney.

There are plans afoot between the Birsay Heritage Trust and A.R.G.O.S. (Aviation Research Group Orkney and Shetland) to restore parts of this site, in particular the control tower and these photographs were taken after the site had been cleaned out.
