English: Site 1 of RAF Bodorgan RAF Bodorgan began life, in 1940, as RAF Aberffraw, but the latter name proved too hard for the top brass to pronounce and the name was changed to RAF Bodorgan. The locals refer to the base as Ciamp Penrhynhalen (Penrhynhalen Camp), the facility having been set up on the land of Penrhynhalen Farm. RAF Bodorgan, was a 'hush-hush' base, its location was not shown on RAF maps. It had two main functions:(a)as a Satellite Landing Ground, and, (b) as a launching site for pilotless Queen Bee aircraft (converted Tiger Moths) and for towed targets drawn behind Lysanders and Martinets, which were used as targets for RA air-gunners at the nearby Ty Croes artillery range. There was also an experimental squadron charged with carrying out radar experiments with the foil, or 'window' as it was then dubbed. RAF Bodorgan closed down at the end of 1945.
