History


The station was used for training new recruits. The recruits would learn about living RAF procedures and other information for a period of weeks then would be transferred to their operational station.


Current use


The station was demolished shortly after closing in 1962. During the 1980s the eastern part of the camp was developed with housing by local construction company Jones Homes, forming the 'Summerfields' development. During the early 1990s the A34 bypass of Wilmslow was constructed, which cut the site in two. Between 1996 and 2015 the remaining western part of the site was developed for housing, forming 'The Villas' and 'Regents Park' developments.
