The unit left the airfield in June 1943. The airfield was also used for testing new types of aircraft. This included a short flight of a jet-powered Gloster aircraft by test pilot Lieutenant Gerry Sayer in 1941. Today, the airfield is still used by the RAF and is home to the officers’ training college.
The College at Cranwell was established as the world's first air academy in 1919. During WW2, the college was closed and its facilities were used as a flying training school. The college was then reopened after the War. Sir Frank Whittle attended RAF Cranwell in the 1920s where he formulated his ideas for the jet engine.
