By the time of the last operational sortie on 4 April 1945, a total of 164 aircraft had been lost, either from the squadrons based at Bourn or from others trying, and failing, to land on the field.

97 Squadron's Avro Lancasters were replaced by the Mosquito IXs of 105 Sqn in March 1944.

These Oboe-equipped aircraft were able to identify targets with great precision and then mark them accurately.

These were transported to the airfield from the Sebro factory near Madingley which later continued its work with RAF and United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), Consolidated B-24 Liberators.
