Crimond Airfield
« on: Sunday 08 March 09 21:01 GMT (UK) »
Hi
Has anyone any knowledge of Crimond Airfield in Aberdeenshire? When was it constructed?
Are any records of the farms and crofts which were displaced still available and which Estate records would apply?

Any assistance would be welcome

Thank you.

Frankin,have you considered writing a letter to the newspaper? The Buchan Observer is a Peterhead paper (known locally as "The Buchanie") It might be worthwhile contacting this paper as well, with your query.The website address is www.buchanobserver.co.uk
