Flying stopped in 1977 but the site is still used by the Ministry of Defence. HistoryRAF Milltown, lying to the southeast of Lossiemouth on the Moray Firth, began life as a bombing decoy for nearby RAF Lossiemouth.[1] Between 1941 and 1943, three runways and two hangars were constructed and the airfield became a satellite of RAF Lossiemouth.[1] In July 1946, along with RAF Lossiemouth, Milltown was officially handed over to the Royal Navy as HMS Fulmar II, a Deck Landing Training School.[2] Draw-down and closureClosed for flying in 1977, the site was retained by the RAF as a high frequency signals station, with some 50 masts transmitting on the RAF VOLMET (using a 600W transmitter) and RAF STCICS systems. The signals station closed in December 2003 when the RAF's high frequency communications system was replaced by the Defence High Frequency Communications Service.[3] The site is surplus but will be retained by the MOD for services use.{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}} Units and aircraftList of flying units permanently based at Milltown.

Current useThe majority of the runways and taxiways are intact but a number of the aircraft stands have been removed. The area has been used for a variety of activities, including storage, truck testing and livestock grazing.[5] 2018 - planning for construction of a Solar PV power plant2017-12-06 the Planning and Regulatory Services Committee of Moray Council agreed to raise no objection to the 50 MW Milltown Airfield Solar PV proposal.[6] The project was approved in May 2018 by the Scottish Government as the first solar project to be approved by the Energy Consents Unit (ECU).[7] The Solar Power plant will have a peak power of 50 MWp and include 200 000 solar panels. Assuming an insolation of 1160 kWh/m2,yr[8] this corresponds to a capacity factor of approximately 13 % and an annual production of 58 GWh/yr, or 15 000 homes each with a consumption of 3 900 kWh/yr.
