The airfield opened in 1928 and during the war the civil flying training school there became 6 Early Flying Training School (EFTS), operating under contract for the RAF. Tiger Moths were used for initial training to select pilots for more advanced training elsewhere. The station was also used for the repair of nearly 2000 Wellingtons as well as the building of nearly 100 Lancaster Mk 2s between July 1942 and November 1943.
