Scope and Content Wick Airfield, Highland Luftwaffe aerial photograph of Wick airfield and town, taken during World War II. Once home to RAF photo-reconnaissance Spitfires, which ranged all over Norway from here during World War II, Wick is now a civilian airport. The airfield's barbed-wire perimeter fence can be seen on this photograph, encircling the airfield. 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.
