RNAS Inskip or as it was otherwise known HMS Nightjar is a former Fleet Air Arm airfield near the village of Inskip, Lancashire. The site today is still owned by the Royal Navy and is now home to DCSA Radio Inskip a tri-service communication centre. The current station has 4 600 metre aerials and several other smaller aerials.

The runway was demolished in the 1970's after the tarmac from it was used to build the M55 motorway, incidentally the aerials can be seen from the motorway. Today only the smaller taxiways exist to prove of the airfields former existence.
