Where 'the Few' Trained

Britain’s First Operational Airfield, was set up in Montrose by the Royal Flying Corps in 1913, and earned its rightful place in aviation history due in no small way to the men and women who served there. It is their words, their actions, their deeds which bring the airfield alive and continues to spark the enthusiasm and admiration of generations for whom the First and Second Wars exists only in others’ memories.

Stories unfold through our extensive collection of artefacts, pictures and memorabilia from the very early period of manned flight when planes were quite literally, kites, to the Home Front where rationing and gas masks were the norm including eye witness accounts of the bombing raids on Montrose

Whatever your interest, be it aviation, Britain at War, local history or ghosts, Montrose Air Station offers something for everyone and is the ideal venue for a family day out.

"The Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre is a national treasure that tells a global story" Ken Ellis, Editor, Flypast.

The Centre has recently been awarded a 3-star visitor attraction rating by VisitScotland.
