Royal Air Force Montrose or more simply RAF Montrose is a former Royal Air Force station in Forfarshire (now more commonly called Angus) in Scotland. It became the first operational military aerodrome to be established in the United Kingdom on 26 February 1913. Not considering the site ideal, after surveying the area Major Burke obtained an agreement to move the base to Broomfield Farm, 1 mile (2 km) north of the town. At the end of 1913 Army Engineers erected three hangars of Indian Army Shed design on the site (known as the "Major Burkes sheds"), enabling the squadron to move there at the start of 1914. World War I started on 28 July 1914 and in August of that year No.2 squadron moved to France. The first pilot to land in France after the declaration of war was Lieutenant H. D. Harvey Kelly of No.2 Squadron RFC. Another of the squadrons' pilots, 2nd Lt. W B Rhodes Moorhouse, became the first pilot to be awarded the Victoria Cross. Unfortunately it was awarded posthumously on 26 April 1915. No.2 squadron never returned to Montrose but as the war progressed several new ones were stationed there. Moved to France in February 1916

Королевская военно-воздушная база Монтроуз, или проще RAF Монтроуз, – бывшая база Королевских военно-воздушных сил в Форфаршире (ныне чаще называемом Ангюсом) в Шотландии. Она стала первым действующим военным аэродромом, созданным в Соединенном Королевстве 26 февраля 1913 года. Считая местоположение неидеальным, майор Берк, после осмотра местности, получил согласие на перенос базы на ферму Брумфилд, в 1,6 км к северу от города. В конце 1913 года армейные инженеры возвели на этом месте три ангара конструкции индийской армии (известные как «ангары майора Берка»), что позволило эскадрилье переехать туда в начале 1914 года. Первая мировая война началась 28 июля 1914 года, и в августе того же года эскадрилья №2 перебазировалась во Францию. Первым пилотом, совершившим посадку во Франции после объявления войны, был лейтенант Х. Д. Харви Келли из эскадрильи №2 RFC. Другой из пилотов эскадрильи, второй лейтенант В. Б. Родс Мурхаус, стал первым пилотом, удостоенным Креста Виктории. К сожалению, награда была присуждена посмертно 26 апреля 1915 года. Эскадрилья №2 больше не возвращалась в Монтроуз, но по мере развития войны там размещались новые подразделения. Перебазирована во Францию в феврале 1916 года.

Royal Air Force Montrose or more simply RAF Montrose is a former Royal Air Force station in Forfarshire (now more commonly called Angus) in Scotland. It became the first operational military aerodrome to be established in the United Kingdom on 26 February 1913. Not considering the site ideal, after surveying the area Major Burke obtained an agreement to move the base to Broomfield Farm, 1 mile (2 km) north of the town. At the end of 1913 Army Engineers erected three hangars of Indian Army Shed design on the site (known as the "Major Burkes sheds"), enabling the squadron to move there at the start of 1914. World War I started on 28 July 1914 and in August of that year No.2 squadron moved to France. The first pilot to land in France after the declaration of war was Lieutenant H. D. Harvey Kelly of No.2 Squadron RFC. Another of the squadrons' pilots, 2nd Lt. W B Rhodes Moorhouse, became the first pilot to be awarded the Victoria Cross. Unfortunately it was awarded posthumously on 26 April 1915. No.2 squadron never returned to Montrose but as the war progressed several new ones were stationed there. Moved to France in February 1916

Между войнами
ВВС Королевской Англии (RAF) Монтроуз были закрыты в 1920 году. Начиная с 1924 года, сараи майора Берка снова использовались, на этот раз для технического обслуживания и восстановления пулеметов Льюиса. В 1935 году британское правительство решило расширить RAF в связи с растущей угрозой со стороны Германии, и ключевой задачей стала подготовка большего числа военных пилотов. RAF Монтроуз, практически не изменившийся со времен Первой мировой войны, вновь открылся 1 января 1936 года как 8-я летная школа (No. 8 Flying Training School). В период с этой даты и до конца битвы за Британию в Монтроузе было обучено и получило "крылья" около 800 пилотов, хотя не все из них стали пилотами истребителей. Многие из британских асов-истребителей Второй мировой войны прошли обучение в Монтроузе.
RAF Montrose closed in 1920. Starting in 1924 the Major Burke's Sheds were again used, this time for the maintenance and refurbishment of Lewis machine guns. In 1935 the British government decided to expand the RAF in the face of a growing threat from Germany and a key requirement was for more trained military pilots. RAF Montrose, virtually unchanged from the First World War, was re opened on 1 January 1936 as No. 8 Flying Training School. Between that date and the end of the Battle of Britain an estimated 800 pilots trained and got their 'wings' at Montrose though not all of these became fighter pilots. Many of the British WWII Fighter Aces were trained at Montrose.
Послевоенный
В 1948 году здесь располагался 63-й отряд технического обслуживания (No 63 MU), и самолеты на ремонт прибывали и отправлялись автомобильным транспортом, так как не было твердых взлетно-посадочных полос.
During 1948 it was home to No 63 Maintenance Unit (No 63 MU) and aircraft for repair were brought in and shipped out by road as there were no tarmac runways.
Истории о призраках
Станция Королевских ВВС Монтроуз была описана людьми, верящими в призраков, как одно из самых населенных привидениями мест в Британии. Лейтенант Десмонд Артур погиб в авиационной катастрофе 27 мая 1913 года, и, по слухам, его дух обитает в офицерском клубе. С тех пор поступало множество сообщений о наблюдениях привидений в форме пилотов и призрачных самолетов. В 2010 году утверждалось, что из 70-летнего радиоприемника, который "не был подключен к сети", доносилась военная музыка и речь.
RAF Station Montrose has been described by believers as one of the most haunted places in Britain. Lt Desmond Arthur was killed in a flying accident on 27 May 1913, his spirit is said to have haunted the officers' mess. Since then there have been many other claimed sightings of apparitions in pilots' uniforms and phantom planes. In 2010 it was claimed wartime music and speech was heard to come from a 70 year old radio which was "not powered in any way".
Центр наследия аэровокзала Монтроуза
В 1983 году был создан фонд Montrose Air Station Heritage Trust, ныне известный как Ian McIntosh Memorial Trust. В 1992 году фонд приобрел диспетчерскую вышку и земельный участок, и был создан Центр наследия авиастанции Монтроуз. С тех пор к нему были добавлены новые здания и коллекции. На территории по-прежнему сохранились несколько исторических зданий и ангаров, а большая часть периметральной рулежной дорожки осталась нетронутой.
In 1983 the Montrose Air Station Heritage Trust was formed, today known as the Ian McIntosh Memorial Trust. In 1992 the trust purchased the Watch Office and ground, and created the Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre. They have since added more buildings and collections. Several historic buildings and hangars are still located on site, and the perimeter taxi track is still largely intact.
