The site was sold to property developers and all station buildings were demolished so it could be redeveloped for residential use.

[1] The site was chosen for its good wireless reception, proximity to the existing GPO trunk telephone network, and lack of other apparent military significance.

In 1959, as the RAF's Central Signals Centre, it was dealing with 10,000 messages a day: 5,500 domestic and 4,500 international.

The main building hosted Systems Control, a tape relay centre (Main Hall), in which were based several banks of TASS transmit positions (Telegraph Automatic Switching System) and later a secure Telegraphic Automatic Routing Equipment (TARE).

The Distant Terminals of these links included Canberra, Gan, Cyprus, Ottawa and Malta.

Aerials were of the dipole, rhombic or biconical designs being usually fed via twin wire feeders.

[10] The Supply Control Centre work was contracted out in 2011 to Boeing Defence UK at Milton Keynes, other functions having been outsourced in the 1990s.

[11] The site was closed in March 2013,[12] but the formal closure ceremony happened during June 2012[1] with the personnel and families moving to RAF Wyton.

[15] (April 2016) Building work on the housing development commenced, but due to contractor issues is currently at a standstill.
