Lorraine,

I only know that during the 1960s there was a RAF station at Machrihanish (not sure of spelling) near Campbeltown because a friend's husband was stationed there. It may still be in existence for all I know.

I think there could have been an airport at or near Campeltown that was used by visitors to the base. If you try googling those details something may pop out at you or you may find more details from people who know much more about it.

Good luck.
