It is operated by the British Armed Forces and is used for air operations, including both military and civilian flights.

Cabinet approval for the expedition was granted on 28th January 1943 and the expedition set out just 10 months later, in November 1943. To organise such a complex operation in such a short space of time during wartime was a major feat. Code-named Tabarin, the organisation of the expedition involved many late nights and a certain amount of chaos, just like the Paris nightclub it was named after.
