RAF Church Lawford is a former Royal Air Force station located south of Church Lawford, Warwickshire, England, south-west of Rugby, Warwickshire. The airfield opened in April 1941〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Church Lawford )〕 and was used by the RAF for pilot training until it closed in 1955. ==Based units== A number of Beam Approach units flew from the airfield like when No. 1509 Beam Approach Training Flight (BAT Flt) arrived flying Airspeed Oxfords from 6 June 1942 and No. 1533 Beam Approach Training Flight (BAT Flt) which again flew Oxfords from 27 October 1942 until April 1945.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Military flying units in the south west Midlands )〕 The first unit to use the airfield was No. 2 Central Flying School flying Oxfords and Avro Tutors from 15 June 1941 until 13 January 1942 when it was renamed No. 1 Flying Instructors School (FIS) flying Oxfords and Tutors carried on until October 1942. The unit was again renamed to No. 18 (Pilots) Advanced Flying Unit RAF ((P)AFU) flying Oxfords and Boulton Paul Defiants on 27 October 1942 and operated until April 1945. Again the name was changed to No. 20 Flying Training School RAF (FTS) flying Harvards from 3 April 1945 using RAF Snitterfield as a relief landing ground (RLG) until March 1948.〔 A further two flying schools used the airfield after the end of the Second World War. The first was No. 20 Service Flying Training School RAF flying Harvards using RAF Snitterfield as a RLG until 1947, which like the wartime units at the airfield was renamed No. 2 Flying Training School RAF starting on 23 July 1947 and operating until 6 April 1948.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「RAF Church Lawford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
