Royal Air Force station

A Royal Air Force station is a permanent Royal Air Force operations location. An RAF station houses personnel who work within the Royal Air Force to deliver its outputs as per its mission statement. Traditionally recognised for its Airpower contingent, the RAF also has many support stations, not all with airfields or runways that can accommodate aircraft. Some radar stations are designated as Remote radar heads (RRH) as they are operated from other bases with only a skeleton staff on site. Bases that the RAF have owned and operated can be labelled as airfields, relief landing grounds, satellite stations, support stations, radar bases, training establishments, seaplane bases, bombing ranges, ammunition dumps, communication bases and RAF Hospitals.
