The former site of RAF Firbeck is now an open stretch of land, criss-crossed with bridleways. There is a memorial placed where the aircraft repair shop used to be located.
The airfield was opened in September 1940 and was closed in 1948, during this time it was mainly used an relief landing ground. After the Second World War had ended the airfield was used by two Royal Air Force gliding schools.
