Linton, Dishforth, Topcliffe, Elvington, Stretton, Cottesmore, Wittering etc are all there or thereabouts for a quick set up relatively speaking.
The US have begun reconstructing old based on Pacific Islands recently like Tinian and Midway with the Marine F35s.
Roads don't make sense in the UK unless we're really desperate.
Stretton is privately owned but it looks like there is still some runway but military owned airfields include Brawdy, Chivenor, Woodvale, Leuchars, Kinloss, Abingdon, Wyton; you could even squeeze an F35 into Catterick.
