Bae Brough
If I remember correctly, Brough became an unlicensed airfield because a chimney was built on the approach to one of the runways. Didn't affect Bae flights at the time, as they were private operation.
Add: From Wiko....
"As of 7th September 2007 the company are intending to fly all Hawk jets from Brough to Warton at a rate of two per month. It is unsure whether the airfield will become fully operational though"
and a quote from an old Yorkshire Aviation News sums it up!

The Last Laugh
.. was with Hawker Siddelev over the closure of Brough Airfield. They
have sold an H.S.125 to the Rio Tinto-Zinc Corp. but the Corporation will
not be able to fly to within 50 miles of their new £9M plan because the
600ft high chimney it incorporates is closing the local airport- Brough.
