Based units
The following units were here at some point:[2]
- No. 5 Elementary Flying Training School RAF flying de Havilland Tiger Moths.
- No. 16 Elementary Flying Training School RAF
- No. 21 Maintenance Unit RAF
The airfield was also used after the Second World War for storing ammunition.[4]
Current use
There is currently not much of the original site left partly because of the fact it had grass runways[2] and partly due to the period of time elapsed however a guard house and a single Robin hangar remain[4] with part of the site becoming a chicken farm.[3]
