What is recorded here

Castletown Airfield is a ruined military airfield in Caithness that opened as a satellite to Wick in May 1940 to help defend Scapa Flow. It closed in April 1944, leaving behind overgrown concrete, empty hangar footprints, and a decontamination centre now filled with cow manure. The Navy later removed a salvaged 4.7 inch gun from outside the station HQ, taking even the field's strangest trophy back to sea.
