History of RAF Llandwrog:

As the Nazi army stormed through Europe in the 1939, it was first thought that an attack on the UK would come from the Irish Sea, so a number of sites were identified along the west coast of Wales in order to build defensive aerodromes.

This site was surveyed in early 1940 as a possible airfield and subsequently chosen. The contract for the building work was awarded to Sir Alfred McAlpine, with work starting in September 1940.

As the Nazis moved to the Russian front, RAF Llandwrog was no longer required as a fighter base and so was then transferred into a training role.

The first aircraft arrived at the RAF Llandwrog on 11th June 1941.
