RNAS Inskip, Naval air station in Lancashire, England
RNAS Inskip spans 600 acres of former farmland with four concrete runways and facilities that accommodated 145 aircraft during its operation period.
The Royal Navy acquired the land in 1942 and transformed it into an operational airbase by 1943 for training anti-submarine and strike crews.
The station held a public exhibition in October 1945 where local residents from Preston and Blackpool gathered to observe military aircraft displays.
The site now functions as a communications facility with 90 radio masts, including several 600-foot structures used for maritime transmissions.
The former airfield maintains its military connection as MOD Inskip while part of the grounds houses an industrial park called Nightjar Way.
