[4] Operations continued throughout the rest of the war, and a 70 ft (21 m) radio transmitter mast was erected to enable information and instructions to be sent to pilots from the ground.

[5] In April 1918, the first flight of the Armstrong Whitworth F.M.4 Armadillo fighter took place at Cramlington because their normal field, at Town Moor Aerodrome in Newcastle, was surrounded by obstructions and too rough.

The members funded the building of a new hangar and with a grant from the Air Ministry[A] bought two de Havilland DH.60 Cirrus Moths.

[13] One of the earliest pupils of the Aero Club was Constance "Connie" Leathart, a young socialite who, despite crashing on her first solo flight, 24 February 1926, went on to become an accomplished pilot.

[21] George Nicholson started an experimental service, trading as "Northern Airways", from his base at Cramlington to the Isle of Man (Hall Caine Airport) via Carlisle (Kingstown Municipal Airport) in his De Havilland DH.84 Dragon G-ACFG, running from 1 August 1934 to 30 September.

[22] In April 1935, North Eastern Airways started a service to link Edinburgh (Turnhouse) with London (Heston Airport) via Newcastle (Cramlington) and Leeds (Yeadon).

It organised its first Annual Flying Meeting on 4 September 1926 in which the Fleet Air Arm took part, with 406 Flight sending a large number of Fairey Flycatchers.

He judged that the airfield at Newcastle's Town Moor, from which he had operated the previous day, was too rough and dangerous for his de Havilland DH.61 Giant Moth (registered G-AEEV and named Youth of Britain) and had relocated to Cramlington.

The engine cut out and he landed, demolishing a tent and running into a wire fence, tearing off a wing, and stopping a few yards from the clubhouse.

With 88 starters, this was to be the largest field in the history of the race, and the 71 aircraft which survived as far as Cramlington all arrived in the space of just over an hour, causing considerable chaos but only two minor accidents.

[30] A London to Newcastle Air Race was instituted by the Aero Club, flying from Heston to Cramlington on 30 May 1931.

[33] Among the displays was the unique Miles M.1 Satyr G-ABVG and the De Havilland DH.60M Moth VH-UQA in which C. W. A. Scott made his record-breaking return flights from Australia to Britain.

[10] On 26 July 1935, Woolsington Aerodrome opened, about 5 miles (8.0 km) to the south-west, as a great improvement on Cramlington (it would become Newcastle International Airport later).

Construction of a Royal Naval Airship Station, RNAS Cramlington, started in 1918[35] at Nelson Village, about half a mile (0.8 km) to the east of the existing aerodrome.

Flying again the following May,[38] it performed its intended role in aerial advertising, with large banners attached to its sides.

[36] The shed was little used until after World War II, but in later years was used for the production of concrete lamp posts,[36] It survived until 1967 when it was demolished.
