A MYSTERIOUS RAF base in Scotland could soon be home to the world’s first spaceport.

Virgin Galactic has already scouted RAF Machrihanish on the Mull of Kintyre for their first space terminal.

Machrihanish is currently an active airfield – but during the Cold War it served as a top secret base for intelligence officers and a training base for US Navy Seals.

Will Whitehorn, President of Virgin Galactic, confirmed that three locations in Scotland have been scouted already.
