Northern 'Q': The History of Royal Air Force, Leuchars takes its
title from the long standing primary role as one of the oldest
airfields in the UK. Leuchars began its links with military
aviation as far back as 1911 with the arrival of the Royal
Engineers who established a balloon squadron for reconnaissance
training. Following the outbreak of war in 1939, the station was
identified as an ideal location to launch maritime operations under
Coastal Command. By the end of the war, Leuchars, like so many
other airfields, was under the threat of redundancy as many
airfields were rendered surplus to requirements. The developing
international situation placed a shift in defence with the Cold War
and Leuchars was once more deemed to be in an ideal and vital
position. From 1950, this corner of north-east Fife has been on
permanent guard with every type of operational interceptor in RAF
service. Now politics from austerity to Scottish independence,
rather than sound judgement, is setting the agenda as the RAF leave
for Lossiemouth in Moray.
