Former RAF station, now an unmanned airfield used for training purposes predominantly by aircraft from RAF Brize Norton. [48] It is also used by the British Army for ground exercises, by Joint Aviation Command, [ 49 ] and by 47th Regiment Royal Artillery to fly the Watchkeeper UAV.
RAF Cosford opened in 1938 as a joint aircraft maintenance, storage and technical training unit. [2] It was originally intended to be opened as RAF Donington (the parish in which it is located) but to avoid confusion with the nearby army camp at Donnington it was named after Cosford Grange House which was located at the south western edge of the airfield.

Besides the aircraft associated roles that technical schools in the RAF trained boys upon, the school also provided training for the radio, photographic and nursing trades.
