Hi Raffian
This link might help
http://www.robertpeel.eu/kastrup.htm I have contributed to this site in the past as my father was there from just after VE-Day with 125 Wing - then returned when 125 Wing disbanded in July '45 and served with 122 Wing.
According to RAF Flying Training & Support Units by Ray Sturtivant etc. No. 123 (Major) Staging Post was formed 5.9.44 at Blakehill Farm in No. 46 Group. 5.12.44 Perranporth, 23.4.45 Boreham (advance party B.160 Kastrup 12.5.45), 1.6.45 Kastrup, disbanded into RAF Kastrup 22.10.45, finally closed 1.4.46
Hope it helps?
cheers
