History
It started life as RAF Dunino, and No. 309 Polish Fighter-Reconnaissance Squadron used the airfield from 8 May 1941 when they re-equipped with the Westland Lysander IIIA then the North American Mustang I during 1942. The squadron had detachments at RAF Gatwick, RAF Longman and RAF Findo Gask and left on 26 November 1942 going to RAF Findo Gask.
The airfield was then transferred to the Royal Navy and renamed RNAS Dunino (HMS Jackdaw II).
