History
Bardufoss Air Station was constituted in 1938. The field is the oldest armed forces field still operative in the commonwealth.
During World War II RAF Gloster Gladiators (of No. 263 Squadron RAF) and Hawker Hurricanes (of No. 46 Squadron RAF) functioning from Bardufoss played a vital division in holding the Luftwaffe at embayment during the struggling on the Narvik front end in the 9 April-10 June 1940 Norwegian run. After the allied withdrawal from Norway, the airbase was used by the Germans, largely as a ground for the scrapper and bombers assailing the convoys between Great Britain and Murmansk in Northern Russia.
