Scope and Content Heathhall Airfield, Dumfries, Dumfries and Galloway Luftwaffe aerial photograph of Heathhall airfield, Dumfries, taken during World War II. Partly hidden under cloud in this view, Heathhall airfield served as an aircraft storage facility until closure in 1957. Ten camouflaged aircraft hangars can be seen at four locations around the airfield. This airfield is now used as an industrial estate. The German Luftwaffe took aerial photographs of parts of Scotland throughout World War II. The photographs were used for intelligence work, such as selecting targets, assessing bombing accuracy and finding equipment and defensive positions. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
