Bogton Loch
Note: This map only provides an approximate position within the UK.
BOGTON LOCH: Used it appears, by the RNAS as a water flying site for seaplanes, and possibly also a RNAS Air Station for landplanes?
(Also known simply as BOGTON? - see seperate entry)
Military user: LOCH DOON Gunnery School
Location: Just S of the B741, about W to WSW of Dalmellington
Period of operation: 1917 to 1919?
NOTES: It sometimes seems hard to say whether or not BOGTON LOCH became an official RNAS Air Station, existing as a seperate entity from BOGTON?
But it does appear that on 7th November 1917 Col. Gordon was appointed Commandant of BOGTON LOCH and on December 26th that year it was declared a prohibited area. On the other hand one highly respected source reckons it was a Flying School site, (A sub-station for SAG LOCH DOON), and a Storage Station for the RFC/RAF from January 1917 to August 1918.
If anybody can kindly offer advice on this subject, this will be most welcome.
