• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Overview History Discussion
RAF Fiskerton opened in Jan 1943 as a satellite to RAF Scampton. The Peenemunde raid was launched from Fiskerton. Operation HYDRA, the Peenemunde Raid, was launched on 17 Aug 1943. JA691, a Fiskterton-based Lancaster, was among the bomber aircraft involved and an extremely detailed account of the attack and JA691's crew's fate is on BomberHistory.co.uk. 576 Sqn's last combat sortie from the airfield was to participate in the attack on Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden in Bavaria. RAF Fiskerton was one of 15 airfields to be equipped with a FIDO fog dispersing equipment. During runway repairs carried out in Sep and Oct 1944, the opportunity was taken to install the system. Later RAF Fiskerton was home to a Royal Observer Corps No 15 Group HQ and UKWMO Midlands Sector HQ from 1960 to 1992. Hope you enjoy this one! Cees
