RAF base: readers discuss former RAF bases, like Kirkbride airfield Readers have been getting misty eyed over some of Cumbria s forgotten air fields. RAF bases that are dotted all around the country that were once bustling hubs have since become derelict and empty skeletons. Many have been forgotten and readers were asked which ones in the county they could recognise. The former bases in Cumbria include, RAF Crosby-on-Eden, now known as Carlisle Lake District Airport, RAF Silloth, RAF Millom, and RAF Kirkbride. Here s what you, the readers, had to say. Anthony Calderbank said: I ve known for years. Ronnie Wood said: There was also storage places at Brayton Aspatria as well.
However, during the years, many bases have been closed, abandoned and forgotten. Some of the bases were rendered redundant after the second world war while other relocated to more spacious or compact areas. The Ministry of Defence is constantly reviewing and changing its security and defence which is why they are continually opening, closing and relocating to new areas in the UK. Here are some of Cumbria s lost and forgotten RAF stations:
