Sorry Dook I missed your question- "Is/was it used by a navy ?" - it was built by some rich enthusiasts, taken over by the military for a while but for many years has been civvie only I believe
I don't believe that any specific naval air units ever used it but I may be wrong - it's hard to discover much about the detail of this place pre mid-50's......... and old photographs are quite scarce
