The runway has since been removed and the site has been covered with industrial units, private housing and a school, with the names of many roads reflecting the previous history as an airfield.

In April 1933 Great Western Railway Air Services began flights to Little Haldon, Devon, Plymouth and Birmingham using Westland Wessex aircraft.

Railway Air Services resumed peacetime flights in early 1946, now using its newly acquired fleet of Avro Ansons and ex-RAF Douglas DC-3s.

The site was surveyed by War Department engineers and in August 1936 a decision to build a Royal Auxiliary Air Force station at Pengam Moors was made.

The buildings works were completed in 1938, with the provision of several brick built offices, hangars and with most accommodation housed in temporary Nissen and Quonset hutting.

614 Squadron remained at Pengam Moors until June 1940 when it was redeployed to RAF Inverness in Scotland and retasked onto coastal patrol duties.

Their role was to locate German submarines and either sink them or prevent them from surfacing and attacking the large number of convoys arriving at Cardiff and Bristol with supplies from America and Canada.

The staff at 43 MU dismantled the aircraft and crated them ready for loading onto freighters at Cardiff Docks, where they sailed to restock squadrons in Gibraltar, Malta and North Africa and other far flung theatres of war.

The longer runways at Rhoose were more suitable for jet passenger aircraft and its remote location meant less noise problems over built up city areas.

The Pengam Moors airfield site (now more commonly known as 'Pengam Green') has largely been turned over to residential and business uses including a Tesco Extra supermarket and Willows High School.

Cardiff Bus runs a dedicated 11 service that operates between the city centre and Pengam Green, terminating at the Tesco Extra supermarket.
