History

The site was used as a bombing range by the Operational Training Units of RAF Finningley until 1948. Between October 1960 and June 1963, No 94 Squadron RAF operated on the site with Bristol Bloodhound I missiles under the control of the Tactical Command Centre at RAF Lindholme.

Current use

The site is now private property but the concrete stands are still visible from the area. L. Jackson & Co.Ltd is situated on the site and supplies surplus military vehicles and equipment. The former site is proposed as a fracking location for the extraction of natural gas.
