🇬🇧 Barry Buddon Range Airport

Barry Buddon Range (GB-1077) is a closed airfield in Angus, Scotland, that was used by the RAF for army aviation with an unpaved landing surface during the 1960s-1970s. The site, which covers 930 hectares, has been in active military use since the 19th century, primarily as a training area with firing ranges and camps. While the airfield itself is disused, the wider Barry Buddon Training Centre remains operational for military training, and much of the area is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Special Area of Conservation (SAC), and Special Protection Area (SPA) due to its wildlife. Public access to parts of the site, including metalled roads and beaches, is permitted when firing is not taking place, though other areas are restricted due to unexploded ordnance risk.
