Absolutely, the available airfields, from an RAF view, in the UK has reduced much dramatically; Honington, Wattisham, St Mawgan, Coltishall, Cottesmore, Scampton, Leuchars, Kinloss, Brawdy, Chivenor, Binbrook, Abingdon, St Athan, Church Fenton, Finningley, were all what would now be termed 'Primary Flying Stations' in my day. Now effectively all gone. Add this the four main operating bases in Germany; Bruggen, Laarbruch, Wildenrath and Gutersloh.
So cuts to the RAF haven't gone too deep in the last 30 years.
