List of former Royal Air Force stations

This list of former RAF stations includes most of the stations, airfields and administrative headquarters previously used by the Royal Air Force.
The stations are listed under any former county or country name which was appropriate for the duration of operation. It has been stated that RAF stations took their name from the civil parish in which the station headquarters was located, rather than the nearest railway station (e.g., Binbrook has never had a railway station), but there are many exceptions.
Chain Home, Chain Home Low, Chain Home Extra Low, ROTOR and tropo-scatter stations.
Notes: Some of the Chain Home Low sites were co-located with the larger Chain Home radars. Chain Home Extra Low equipment was co-located with "Chain Home" and "Chain Home Low" as well as at separate sites, but were of a less permanent nature, usually with mobile equipment.
ROTOR was the post war Radar interception system created from existing radar installations.
NARS, the North Atlantic Radio System, was an extension of the US Distant Early Warning system tropo-scatter communications network.
ACE High provided long-range communications for NATO
