Royal Air Force Brunton or more simply RAF Brunton is a former Royal Air Force satellite airfield in Northumberland, England, close to the hamlet of Brunton.
The following units were here at some point:[1]
The field was used for civil aviation after the war[2] and by the Borders Parachute Centre until at least 2003,[3] but was sold and closed soon after that date;[4] in a 2021 accident report it is referred to as a "disused airfield".[5]
