Construction of Cluntoe was started during December 1940, however it was not completed until July 1942. Cluntoe was planned for a RAF
Operational Training Unit but when it was opened, it was only used as an emergency landing ground. This changed on 30 August 1943, when the airfield was transferred to
United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) and was called "USAAF Station 238". No. 4 Combat Crew Replacement Center was opened during November 1943 which trained
Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress crews with
Consolidated B-24 Liberators being added during February 1944. During March 1944 it was designated No. 2 CCRC and was closed during November 1944. ==Current use==
