Royal Air Force Elgin or RAF Elgin, also known as Bogs of Mayne, is a former airfield operated by the Royal Air Force and located approximately 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) south west of Elgin in Moray, Scotland. It opened in 1940 as a satellite airfield of RAF Lossiemouth and was used throughout the Second World War, predominantly by bomber aircraft of No. 20 Operational Training Unit. Towards the end of the war it was used by No. 46 Maintenance Unit, before it closed in 1947. The site was returned to agricultural use, although several airfield buildings and a memorial remain.
