Today, we have a radar station at Salua and Dudhkundi has been converted into an air-to-ground firing range.

Airfield has been converted into an air-to-ground firing range to Kalaikunda Air Force Station.

In 2007, the 81st Fighter Squadron made use of the field air-to-ground firing ranges while deployed to Monte Real Air Base.

Considerable time was spent over the air-to-ground firing range along the Ayres coastline at Smeale which had been constructed not long after the first fighters had arrived at RAF Jurby.

As naval use declined, it was also made available to the RAF and Shackleton squadrons from the base at RAF St Eval used it for air-to-ground firing at tanks fitted with recording equipment.
