Opened in World War One (aka The Great War) in 1916 as a Royal Flying Corps base on land originally owned by nearby Flambirds Farm. It closed for military operations in 1919. It was never re-used during WWII and as a consequence, has a legacy of RFC, rather than RAF buildings and heritage.
The airfield remains open for single engined light aircraft and special events. The airfield is c 0.5nm NE of a source of intense radio emissions at Bushy Hill.
