History
Collinstown Aerodrome
In 1917, during World War I, the
townland of Collinstown was selected as the site of a base for the British
Royal Flying Corps. By April 1918, when the Flying Corps was renamed the Royal
Air Force, Collinstown Aerodrome was more than 20% complete. Construction was
completed in 1919 when the Irish War of Independence broke out. On 20 March
1919 a group of 30 Irish Volunteers, including five employed by the RAF, stole
75 rifles and 5,000 rounds of ammunition from the base. As Collinstown Camp the site was used for
internment of Irish republicans. At the
end of 1922 the land and buildings at Collinstown were transferred to the Irish
Free State. The airfield quickly fell into disrepair and grass grew on the
former runways.
