RAF Wilmslow was a Royal Air Force station that existed from 1938 until 1962 in Wilmslow, Cheshire. It was known as No. 4 School of Recruit Training.

History

The station was used for training new recruits. The recruits would learn about living RAF procedures and other information for a period of weeks then would be transferred to their operational station.

Current use

The station was demolished shortly after closing in 1962 and there is nothing left other than hidden foundation traces adjacent to the railway line in an area designated for wildlife conservation.
