Oldest Airfield?

Not sure about Odiham's history but surely Leuchars is in with a shout: military aviation on site from 1911 (balloons); then work started in 1916 to make an airfield for an RNAS base and finally RAF from March 1920.

Cranwell must be up there too - the rest are nearly all 1930's upstarts!
