Royal Aircraft Factory FE2b and d fighters of No 33 Squadron had Wigsley I available to them as a Home Defence landing ground during World War One. Avro 504Ks which subsequently succeeded them in the summer of 1918 remained in service after the end of fighting. The original Wigsley existed a relatively short distance to the north-east of the later World War Two airfield.
