En période de paix, l'aérodrome a été le lieu de quelques débuts en aviation ; la première poste aérienne du monde a été envoyée d'ici en 1911, et le premier saut d'un parachutiste depuis un avion en vol a eu lieu ici aussi. La Royal Air Force y organisa un défilé aérien tous les ans de 1919 à 1959. L'aérodrome a été fermé en 1968, et en novembre 1972 la Royal Air Force a ouvert son musée d'avions anciens sur le site.
