Only about 20% of the 73 sites were actually used in the 24 years as proper airfields with squadrons posted there though. The likes of Catterick, West Raynham, Hullavington, Swanton Morley etc were hardly major losses to the RAF estate. Neither were places like Buchan, Boddington or Sealand.
Carlisle is missing from the list.
I'm a fan of the 1930s architecture in the expansion period airfields, as long as those stay in MOD ownership and are used, then reaping the "peace dividend" is not such a bad thing with the likes of Laarbruch or Wildenrath going.
But the photos of Little Rissington and Watton being demolished are horrid.
