RAF - how small?
By my reckoning the British Army is now using as many, if not more, airfields than the Royal Air Force. I merely raise this topic to highlight how small the RAF has become. The list is may be incomplete so feel free to correct me.
1. Abingdon
2. Ballykelly
3. Bassingbourn
4. Brawdy
5. Catterick
6. Chivenor
7. Colerne
8. Dishforth
9. Driffield
10. Gutersloh
11. Hullavington
12. Kirton Lindsay
13. Leconfield
14. North Luffenham
15. South Cerney
16. Spitalgate (Gratham)
17. St Athan
18. Swanton Morley
19. Thorney Island
20. Topcliffe
21. Waterbeach
22. Wattisham
This doesn't include Oakington which passed through British Army hands prior to becoming home to illegal immigrants or Bodney and Watton which now form part of Stanford training area.
In these modern enlightened times when we are all equal (bean-bags, open-toed sandals, etc) does this mean that all members of the RAF can now claim to be one of the 'few'?
