Stornoway Airport or Port-Adhair Steòrnabhagh as it is known in Scottish Gaelic, was opened in 1937 and served as an RAF station during WW2 as can be clearly seen from the standard RAF layout. Later it served as a NATO staging point. Today it is operated by Highland and Islands Airports.

Highly utilitarian architecture to withstand the harsh Atlantic winds!

Still in the BA scheme used by the previous operator, Loganair, who was a BA franchisee.

Scanned from a 80x55mm print. No date given, but thought to be 1944. Writen on the back of the print is 'S/Ldr Frazer and crew went missing in this aircraft'. Info from the CWGC shows that Squadron Leader Ronald George Renwick Frazer (age 30) of 58 Sqn. went missing on February 24th, 1945, No known grave. Photo passed to me by a friend whose uncle flew with Coastal Command at the time.
