During the war, the airfield was a training ground for pilots. During 1946 to 1948 the buildings served "as a resettlement camp for Polish ex-service personnel, officially known as Number 2 Polish Resettlement Unit". The property was returned to Gorst family in 1948; with the "Bristol Motorcycle & Light Car Club", they organized the first race in July 1950. By 1955 the property was divided and sold. Between 1956 and 1961, the circuit was used for motorcycle racing. Some years later, the circuit was converted to motor racing.
