In common with other WWII buildings, the old hangars on the airfield are a silent token to the past and they continue to house aircraft, but light aircraft in private, club, pleasure and training use. Consequently it is possible to experience or learn flying in an open cockpit 1920's style, in microlights, or in the comfort of more modern aircraft, or experience or train to parachute or skydive. The hangars along the east of the airfield are now part of an industrial area which extends across the road onto the northern end of the old airfield. They have been joined by modern industrial units in which flying related and long established local businesses have been joined by diving product, weaving and packaging companies amongst many others. In offering cross country rally car driving experience and training, one business makes use also of the ground immediately north of the airfield.
