There are minutes of meetings for Sep & Oct 1918 where costs are being discussed, and then in December everything has changed to how to dispose of the facilities and who owes what to whom. 3rd December meeting specifically refers to Oldham.

Here are some costs - clicky


As Russell says below, it's Open House
There was still some other action going on overseas after WW1 notably in Afghanistan where an HP 0-400 was flown to Kabul by Tony Dudgeon,later AVM Dudgeon.(The Kabul Raid, Aeroplane Monthly c1980ish)
I vaguely recall the article saying they got the aircraft from Tangmere.
