Last time I looked the ones in GREEN were still open as RAF stations with airfields...those in RED still going under Army/Marines management...and ones in ORANGE in civvy management as active airfields...

Abingdon - with a VGS
Biggin Hill
Binbrook
Bovingdon - partly as short strip for light aircraft
Brawdy
Chivenor - with RAF SAR Flt
Coltishall
Cottesmore
Gaydon
Kemble
North Weald
Oakington
Scampton
St Mawgan
Stradishall
Tangmere
Thorney Island
Wattisham - with RAF SAR Flt
Watton
West Malling
West Raynham
White Waltham
Wittering - with RAF Gliding Club

At the end of the day, nothing lasts forever and at least 2/3rds are still doing something useful. So it's far better than it could have been (IMHO).

PS and there's still an RAF Manston with Fire School...
