Bude was a mooring-out station for anti-submarine patrol non-rigid airships from Mullion. This airfield was sited some considerable distance from the town in an area of trees to the south-east of the village of Marhamchurch and saw significant activity in the final months of World War One. Peacetime brought swift closure as with all other similar supportive airfields engaged in this role.
