EspañolRAF TAIN
'RAF Tain' is a bombing range (formal designation: Air Weapons Range) on the Moray Firth near Tain in Scotland.
The original airfield is abandoned, but still exists within the boundaries of the range. The current station is the largest live bombing range in Europe. It is the only one in Europe where live 1000 lb bombs may be dropped, and is thus crucial to the final certification of fighter pilots. Several World War II airfield buildings in various states of decay can be seen from the road to Inverness and Portmahomack.
