Apropos old Carlisle airfields, the former RAF Kingstown site in Carlisle is now mainly a large industrial/trading estate, at which Eddie Stobart (now separate from Stobart Group) still have a 'Truck Stop' facility (you can stay there if you want).
RAF built 'Crosby on Eden' as the runways were too short at Kingsdown for their planned wartime needs.
Really hope that the airport finds a way to meaningfully re-open, even if it be only for GA, military and biz-jets. It has a good runway finally.
