Based at Corsewall on the Rhins coast during the Second World War, RAF Corsewall became home to No.1 Marine Craft Training School, where airmen were trained to operate and maintain the RAF’s fleet of marine craft. From high-speed rescue launches and tenders to seamanship, navigation and engineering skills, the station played an important role in preparing crews for service around Britain’s coasts and beyond.
Drawing on photographs, official records and detailed research, Ian Baldie explores the development of the station, daily life at the camp, the craft used there, and the men who passed through what became known locally as the training base for the RAF’s “Webfoots”.
Richly illustrated and rooted firmly in local history, this book sheds light on a fascinating and often overlooked chapter of wartime Loch Ryan.
