RAF Topcliffe Royal Air Force Station Topcliffe or RAF Topcliffe is a Royal Air Force station in North Yorkshire , England . It is a satellite station serving in the role of a Relief Landing Ground for Tucano aircraft of the Central Flying School ( CFS ) , It is also used by the Air Training Corps , or aircadets as a motor glider airfield where GiC ' s ( Gliding induction courses ) and Gliding scholarships are achieved . Based nearby at RAF Linton - on - Ouse ( one of two , the other being Dishforth Airfield ) . As such , no RAF personnel are based permanently at the airfield and airfield services are provided by personnel assigned to RAF Linton - on - Ouse . History . Topcliffe opened in September 1940 as a bomber station in RAF Bomber Command and was home to 77 and 102 Squadrons flying the Whitley heavy bomber . There was a decoy site at Raskelf . Concrete runways were added in mid - 1942 , and 419 and 424 Squadrons ( RCAF ) moved in flying Wellington bombers and later , the Halifax III . On 1 January 1943 the station was transferred to No . 6 Group RCAF and became a training station . The station , along with sub - stations at Wombleton , Dalton and Dishforth were designated as No . 61 ( Training ) Base in late 1943 . Post - war , Topcliffe continued to be used by the RAF , initially by operational squadrons of RAF Transport Command . Not sure when ( or if ) it was Transport Command , but by 1955 it was Coastal Command ( at least 203 and 210 Sqdns flying Neptunes ) , and converted to Flying Training Command in early 1957 . The Army moved on to the site in 1972 and renamed much of it Alanbrooke Barracks . However all the flying facilities remain intact . The wartime control tower , with modifications , is still used , and the station is referred to as " RAF Topcliffe " by the RAF . During the eighties it was the home of the Royal Navy Elementary Flying School . In the nineties it was temporarily home to a Tucano squadron of RAF Central Flying School . It was the home of the Tucano Air Navigation Squadron , teaching student navigators of both the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy until April 2002 when it moved to RAF Linton on Ouse . The station is now home to 645 Volunteer Gliding Squadron , who teach Air Cadets to fly The Grob 109B ' Vigilant ' Motor Glider and is currently joined by 635 Volunteer Gliding Squadron , who have been temporarily re - located from their former airfield . Other uses . In 1962 The Air Electronics School ( for Wireless Operators and Air Electronics Officers ) moved to RAF Topcliffe from RAF Hullavington in Wiltshire . In 1968 they were joined by an Air Engineer Training School . In the early 70s it was also used as a basic Sergeant Aircrew training centre . During the 1990s and until 2001 , the airfield was utilised by Merlin Parachute Club , home to both the 4 Para Parachute display team and the York University Sport Parachute Club . Part of the site is also used for the flying of model aircraft . As of March 2012 , RAF Topcliffe is the permanent base of one of the two Yorkshire Air Ambulance s .

Tarakan Island Tarakan is an island off the coast of North Kalimantan , Indonesia . It is a marshy island situated in the eastern Celebes Sea , off the northeastern coast of Borneo . The island occupies an area of . Petroleum . Dutch explorers noted oil seepages in 1863 . Oil extraction began in 1906 . Tarakan oil field produced a light , sour crude oil with an unusually low pour point . By 1940 the island had an oil refinery with four petroleum loading piers , and was one of the five largest petroleum processing centers in the East Indies . World War II . Japan ese oil fields in Sakhalin and Formosa provided only about ten percent of the petroleum needed to sustain Japanese industry . Reserves of California crude oil at Japanese refineries would have been exhausted in less than two years at the rate of consumption when United States terminated exports to Japan on 26 July 1941 . Japan initiated hostilities against the United States and the United Kingdom four months later in preparation for seizing alternative sources of petroleum in the East Indies . Japan declared war on the Netherlands East Indies on 10 January 1942 ; and Japanese troops landed on Tarakan the following day . Dutch forces had declared war on Japan a month earlier , and sabotaged the oil field and refinery prior to surrender . Japan had captured the Miri oil field in December , and proceeded to capture oil fields and refineries at Balikpapan in January , Sumatra in February , and Java in March . Oil technicians accompanied the invading troops in attempts to maintain production at captured facilities . A team of one thousand additional petroleum engineers and technicians sailed from Japan aboard the " Taiyo Maru " , but nearly 800 drowned when the ship was sunk southwest of Kyushu by the USS " Grenadier " on 8 May 1942 . Despite this loss , Tarakan crude oil ( mixed with lesser quantities of Manchurian oil shale distillates ) became the primary feedstock for Japanese diesel fuel in 1942 while reserve supplies of California crude oil remained the primary feedstock for Japanese gasoline and residual fuel s until 1943 . Tarakan oil field production reached 350 , 000 barrels per month by early 1944 , but Japan no longer had enough oil tankers to transport this volume to Japanese refineries . Without adequate supplies of refined residual fuel oil for the Battle of the Philippine Sea , Japanese aircraft carriers refueled with unrefined Tarakan crude oil in June 1944 . This un - desalted crude oil damaged boiler tubes , and the un - removed naphtha fraction volatilized to form explosive atmospheres contributing to the loss of aircraft carriers " Taihō " , " Shōkaku " , and " Hiyō " . The last Japanese tanker left Tarakan in July , 1944 ; allied bomb ing raids damaged the oil field facilities later that year ; and Australian troops ended Japanese occupation in June , 1945 .
