History

The following units were posted to this airfield at some point:

Airspeed Oxfords and North American Harvard I's flew from this airfield.[2]

The station was bombed on two occasions in October and November 1940. Little damage was done and on the second attempt the Luftwaffe missed the airfield by about a mile to the East.

Current use

The site is currently farmland, partly owned by Jeremy Clarkson and used for his show, Clarkson's Farm. Part of the site is used for airsoft.
