Evanton Airfield Memorial
The Airfields of Britain Conservation Trust (ABCT) was established in 2006 with the aim of preserving historical details and records of airfields.
To this end the charity has erected a great number of memorials across the UK to ensure these heritage sites, the people and units serving there, are not forgotten.
On 13 August 2017 Highland Deephaven Industrial Park, the location of the former Evanton airfield ,became the latest site to have a memorial unveiled by ABCT.
For information on the work of the Trust see www.abct.org.uk

A booklet, Evanton Wartime Remains, is available from Arch Highland for £7 including p&p (email as above) or £6 when collected from The Goods Shed, The Old Station, Strathpeffer, IV14 9DH
The Director General of the Trust, Kenneth Bannerman, addressed a group of heritage society representatives and villagers before unveiling the memorial.
