RAF Balado Bridge
RAF Balado Bridge, Tayside, Scotland is located 2 mi (3.2 km) west of Kinross, It opened on 30 March 1942 as an Operational Training Unit & satellite airfield to RAF Grangemouth, it remained open until 1957. The airfield would have been named "RAF Kinross" however it was the custom not to name airfields with names that may be confused with somewhere else. In this case it may have been confused with RAF Kinloss, near Forres, which was the home to No. 19 OTU, a Bomber Command OTU flying Armstrong Whitworth Whitleys.
