The De
Havilland dealership in Teignmouth had not gone well, having not sold any aircraft at all, so in 1929, Parkhouse succeeded in taking it over. He bought one himself, selling the Avian to Whitney Straight, who subsequently bought two more De Havillands, a Gipsy Moth and a Puss Moth, from

In 1946 some efforts were made to re-establish the airfield, but without success. The land requisitioned from the golf club was returned to them, and the rest of the land reverted to rough moorland. All that remains of the airfield are a few patches of hardstanding, and a
