The site of the First World War airfield was re-used as part the northern dispersal (NO67SW 33) for the Second World War Edzell airfield (NO66NW 75.00).

A taxiway leads to a dispersal area containing a number of hard standings, and which may have also made use of the former hanger sites. Vertical air photography (106G/SCOT/UK/62 3028-33) of 8 May 1946 shows over thirty aircraft and at least three small hangers extending over the N part of the former First World War airfield. Also visible on the photograph, surviving as either footings or parch marks, is the layout of the orginal airfield, showing the camps, and technical buildings.

A sewage works built for the orginal airfield lies to the NE.
