Royal Aircraft Factory BE2c and d fighters of No 33 Squadron initially had Cuxwold available to them as a Home Defence landing ground during World War One, being replaced in the autumn of 1916 by Royal Aircraft Factory FE2b and d variants. Avro 504Ks that subsequently succeeded them in the summer of 1918 remained in service after the end of fighting.
