A number of units based from Ferry Command were based including a ferry training unit using Lockheed Hudsons and Bristol Beauforts were based at the airfield between November 1941 and March 1942, and 1425 Flight using Liberators between November 1941 and April 1942. Post WW2The airfield was also temporarily home to No. 21 OTU flying Wellingtons from RAF Enstone from August 1945 for two months because the runways at their home base were being repaired. From October 1945 until 1946 107 Sub Storage Unit from No. 8 Maintenance Unit used the airfield for storing Wellingtons and General Aircraft Hamilcar gliders.[4] The role of the airfield after the war changed with the reduction of flying movements and with a slight change in what the units did on the airfield when No. 107 Sub Storage Unit from 1947 began to collect no longer needed Wellingtons which were then scrapped and taken to Weston Subedge goods yard (which was near to the south-western corner) where the railway would take them to the necessary destination.[6] Accidents and incidents7 August 1940 Handley Page Hampden P2086 of 4 Ferry Pilots Pool stalled attempting to force land after an engine failure.[7] 24 December 1941 Bristol Blenheim L8663 of Ferry Training Unit stalled on approach.[8] 10 March 1942 Lockheed Hudson V8995 of the Ferry Training Unit spun into ground.[9] 20 July 1943 Avro Anson DJ242 of 24 OTU undershot landing.[10] 14 May 1944 Armstrong Whitworth Whitley N1436 of 24 OTU stalled on overshoot.[11] 6 January 1945 Vickers Wellington HE633 of 24 OTU crashed on take off when an engine failed.[12] 28 April 1947 Wellington JA349 was hit by Wellington LR130 while parked.[13] Current useIn July 1948 the site was closed and much has reverted to farmland with runways being removed in 1968. During 1949 and into 1950 parts of the site were used for temporary housing for local families while new Council housing developments were being built in the area - people moving into the new houses when completed. Since then, the airside area has evolved into the Honeybourne Airfield Trading Estate[6] with the five hangars being used for different purposes.
