  • AKA HMS Jackdaw. Most of the original military installations are still there, in particular the control tower. Now primarily used for motor sports events and a Sunday car boot sale.
  • Crail Airfield is now used as a quarter mile drag strip and drifting oval at the infamous 'Crail Thrash'. For more information, see; http://www.crailraceway.co.uk/
