The RAF Harrowbeer 1940s Weekend commemorates the WWII Airfield that was built on moorland near Yelverton, Devon. At our Remembrance Service, we especially honour the memory of the 72 personnel who lost their lives whilst serving on or from the airfield. Aircrew from many nations flew from Harrowbeer during WWII.

Please keep checking this site for further information. Remember we are also on Facebook. Search for RAF Harrowbeer. you can also visit our two Airfield history sites, on www.rafharrowbeer.co.uk and www.rafharrowbeer.com. The first of these was the main airfield history site but was written with early website software and will not be updated. The .com website will eventually replace that and then all new updates will go on there.
