From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RAF Warmwell was a Royal Air Force station near Warmwell in Dorset, England, from 1937 to 1946. Construction of the station began in 1936 and upon completion in 1937 the station was named RAF Woodsford. The name was changed to RAF Warmwell in 1938. The station hosted RAF fighters during the Second World War, including a flight from 609 Sqn and was Dorset's only RAF fighter base during the Battle of Britain. The station closed in 1946 and the land was subsequently mined for sand and gravel.
