Several British naval air stations established in short time according to the magazine Mitteilungen aus dem Gebiete des Seewesens dated 1914 nos. 1-2

An item reported that in the last years the British naval air force was considerable increased. Somewhat a year ago was on the island Grain an air station established and since followed by another five stations at Calshot, Feloxtowe, Yarnouth, Firth of Forth and Cromarty. In 1913 were 88 officers and men licensed as pilots. For the airships were however a sufficient number of pilots lacking. While the naval air force was added to the naval sub depot at Sheerness appointed the Admiralty a special inspector for the air force.
