Spynie Patrol
The location of the Patrol was close to several RAF bases: Lossiemouth, Milltown, Bogs’o’Main, Forres and Kinloss.
The Moray coast had possible invasion beaches and this Patrol would have covered road and rail links from them.
Training most likely took place at Blairmore House in Huntly.
The stores of arms and explosives were kept in the coach house at Ardgilzean.
