Royal Air Force Goldsborough or more simply RAF Goldsborough is a former Royal Air Force station located in North Yorkshire, England.[1]

History

It was a radar station and part of the RAF ROTOR system. Originally staffed by army personnel, it was handed over to the RAF in March 1942.[2] It was opened as Radar station M45 as part of the coastal defence/Chain Home Low (CD/CHL) system.[3] It was later upgraded to the ROTOR system with a new operating block being built between 1951 and 1952. The guardroom was destroyed by fire in 1958.[4]

In the early 1960s, elements of the bomb disposal flights based at RAF Stafford used RAF Goldsborough as a base whilst clearing land at Snod Hill in preparation for the building of RAF Fylingdales.[5]

Current use

The guard house has been damaged in a fire and it is now private property.[1][6]
