Welcome to Royal Air Force Digby,
the oldest station in the Royal Air Force and one with a distinguished history.

Today RAF Digby has a significantly different mandate than it did when operating as a key operational airfield during the Second World War, however it’s current role has never been more critical. From an outsider’s perspective, Digby may appear to be a sleepy hollow in which nothing much happens; however, this could not be further from the truth. The station supports both strategic decision makers at the highest level and the front line on a 24/7 basis, directly supporting our Armed Forces wherever deployed. As such, the station has to be able to adapt to an ever-changing security environment and embrace technological change to remain capable of meeting our remit.
