Browsing through the site http://content-delivery.co.uk/aviation/airfields/ posted by Adrian Gray in the unknown airfield thread, I came across a listing for ‘Dunfermline’
http://www.content-delivery.co.uk/aviation/airfields/Dunfermline.html
I’d never heard of an airfield or landing ground here – the shown location is about half a mile from my house.
Anyone know any more?
There is a Govt (ex-Post Office/BT) complex just south of the shown location that has some sunken hangers – must go an explore them!

There was civilian flying here in the 20’s. Not much more to add at the moment I`m afraid… but I`m looking through my 20’s mags for references.

No that was Donibristle now (as with many other airfields) an industrial/ housing estate. Perhaps it was an early ww1 field?
I think it would have to be – or an early Civil flying station. Will have a dig about in the Library

My memory is a bit hazy now, but there used to be an FAA flying station on the north shore of the Firth of Forth. It was active some 50 years ago as a maintenance base. Would this be the one?
