RAF Davidstow Moor

RAF Davidstow Moor is a former WWII Coastal Command Royal Air Force station located 2.9 miles north east of Camelford, Cornwall and 11.5 miles west of Launceston, Cornwall, UK. The station was operational from 1942 through to December 1945. In the early 1950s the site was used as a motor racing circuit - Davidstow Circuit. Motor racing ended in the wake of the 1955 Le Mans Disaster.
