RM Condor, Military barracks and training facility in Arbroath, Scotland.
RM Condor is a military barracks north of Arbroath with an airfield for helicopter operations. The facility contains training buildings and operational areas used by Royal Marines personnel.
The site began as Royal Naval Air Station Arbroath in 1938 and was converted in 1971 to become the Royal Marines 45 Commando base. This shift made it a major training center for amphibious operations.
The base maintains strong connections with Angus Council, developing educational programs and support services for military families in the region.
The facility provides family accommodations nearby with access to local schools and community services. Visitors should note this is an active military base with restricted access for security reasons.
The base has a landing area the size of an aircraft carrier, built specifically for naval aviation training. This special space allows realistic practice under conditions similar to operating on actual carriers.
