I've added Staverton and Fairford because I've been to airshows at both, so I'm fairly confident there are airfields there. Any ideas about what to do about the huge number of WW II airfields that eventually became defunct? From my own knowledge, in Worcestershire there's Honeybourne (A Wellington bomber base in WW II , now an industrial estate), Perdiswell (now a sports centre), Throckmorton (a former training base in WW II, a Vulcan Bomber base up to the 70s, in the UK news recently as a possible site for an asylum seekers camp), Defford (used in WWII for test flights of the radar systems being developed down the road at Malvern, now has an interesting set of radar & satellite dishes and an interferometer link with Jodrell Bank observatory): in Gloucestershire there was Moreton-in-the-Marsh (now the national firefighters training college), and Stoke Prior (formerly a glider base, now an industrial estate). This is not an exhausive list, even for this small area... Malcolm Farmer 23:38 29 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Just curious, I was adding Dundee Airport and I noticed some airports are in bold and others not. What is the pattern for this? -- Colin Angus Mackay 10:53, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Should the RAF bases be named "RAF Benson" etc ?
I found this list very confusing and so must have the general reader. As an example there is an article on "Benbecula Airport" but the list had the link pointing to "Benbecula". I've fixed those so now they point to the airport even if that means having a red link. At the same time rather than sort by airport name, which can be done by looking through the category, I have done as other lists of airports and sorted by community served. For references I have used in order of preference the Governments Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP), World Aero Data: United Kingdom, FallingRain.com: Airports in the United Kingdom, The Airport Guide: United Kingdom, A-Z World Airports Online: United Kingdom, official sites and Airports in the United Kingdom. The AIP is the reason that you get the odd airport names such as "Londonderry/Eglinton Airport" for the "City of Derry Airport". Governments in several countries appear to have different names than the one used by the airport operator. I think it may be an ICAO reason. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 06:34, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
The town entries look a bit daft for military airfields ! should we remove them MilborneOne 13:16, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Could this list be organised by county or something? It's a bit useless as it is. -- 88.110.189.21 20:00, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Should the links to World Aero Data be on the article page and not on this list ? MilborneOne 12:14, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
What is the significance of putting some airport/airfield names in italics? There seems to be no consistency. I suspect a tidy up is needed. -- Cheesy Mike 10:02, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
I wonder if this could be changed to Associated town as many aiports are not located within the boundaries of the places they are named after? MRSC • Talk 00:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
I did another by counties at Talk:List of airports in the United Kingdom/Counties. The airports for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have also been updated. For both the counties and town lists I have moved the London airports into the correct region/county. So Southend Airport, for example, is listed under "East of England" "Southend-on-Sea" in the first list and "East of England" "Essex" in the second.

The regions version is better. The other list looks odd because of the amount of repetition in the first column. MRSC • Talk 21:43, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Has EGTH been assigned to Old Warden ?
Nothing on NATS/AIS
EGTH was Hatfield. Basys ( talk) 20:58, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
As the runway length column has text in some entries e.g. "600 x 18" it makes the column sortable rather annoyingly alphabetically rather than numerically, e.g. 9 would come before 8000, and 10,xxx comes last after 1xxx . WatcherZero ( talk) 18:16, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
The three crown dependencies aren't part of the UK. Should the title of this list be changed to correctly and accurately reflect its scope? 119.236.250.27 ( talk) 15:09, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
Any reason why Manston in Kent is not included? https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.3405664,1.3473099,2022m/data=!3m1!1e3

There is mention that this list is meant to be complete, "even if there are redlinks", so I trust it's OK if I add some more operating Northern Irish airfields. Now, the situation is less clear re. defunct aerodromes, dozens are missing across the territory, incl. NI, though they are sometimes included in lists of this type. Is it part of the article's definition that only currently operating airfields are included? SeoR ( talk) 01:14, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
