Royal Air Force Worthy Down, or simply RAF Worthy Down, was a Royal Air Force station built in 1918, 3.5 miles (6 km) north of Winchester, Hampshire, England. After it was transferred to Royal Navy control in 1939 as Royal Naval Air Station Worthy Down (RNAS Worthy Down, or HMS Kestrel), the airfield remained in use throughout the Second World War and then housed a RN Air Electrical School, HMS Ariel, from 1952. The airfield was in use until 1960. The site is now Worthy Down Camp.
