If memory serves me correctly, Brawdy's V Bomber dispersal was on the western side of the threshold of runway 21; and Lossie's was on the western side of the threshold of runway 23.

Both were relatively self contained. Lossie's (and I think Brawdy's) had the standard deep water filled pits, into which the Blue Steel missile could be jetisioned in the event of propellant problems.

As a master diversion airfield, the Lossie dispersal was also used occasionally for QRA. During the 60s, I recall seeing Lightnings, F104s, F105s and even the odd F4 gracing the Morayshire countryside.
