In response to mounting accidents, the Admiralty Aerodrome was established, swiftly followed by a training school to educate pilots in operating the innovative Handley Page Type O Bombers.By the close of 1916, Manston boasted not only the Operational War Flight Command but also the Handley Page Training school.
