Opened in August of 1938, it was home to No.1 Air Armament School, which had arrived from RAF Eastchurch. The role of the AAS was to train Armament Officers, Air Gunners and Air bombers so extensive use was made of the nearby bombing ranges on the coast. Training at the airfield by the AAS was not restricted to solely RAF personnel. They were responsible for training many personnel from many Allied air forces, some as far away as Turkey.
By June 1940 it was also home to the Joint Services Bomb Disposal School as well; The JSBDS was made up of Royal Engineers and Royal Navy demolition parties being trained alongside their RAF counterparts. In August 1940 due to the increased workload generated by the war, twenty five more mobile bomb disposal squads were formed.
Post ww2 it became the RAF Flying College and then, the College of Air Warfare until it closed in 1974
I've populated it here in the late 50's early 1960's style with Vickers Varsity, Valetta, and Gloster meteors
