Hi Brian - Heathfield was a military airport during the war - spitfires were stationed there.

Meg I knew Heathfield was an RAF station but never realized the number of squadrons that operated out of it over the years.

Wow - didn’t realise that either. When I first came to Ayr (about 25 years ago) Heathfield shopping centre actually had a model spitfire at the entrance - it was damaged during a storm 20 odd years ago.

Seemingly there is a controlled explosion of the ww2 shell they found happening down at stevenston beach

There's a copy of the Luftwaffe map of Ardeer here:

To get a PDF of all Luftwaffe images scroll to the bottom here:

Click on the second link. The map is easier to read there.
Sorry about the mistake...

Brilliant Irene, I knew I had seen that map on here before but could not find it last night. Thanks.
