The question is: What is an airfield?....Few pilots now fly from the traditional type of airfield in the UK due to the costs of having an aircraft based there. Generally only flying schools plus a few groups exist at such airfields now although they may be visited by all and sundry on the occasional breakfast burger run.
By far the majority of pilots I know fly and base their aircraft at a farm strip and no collation of flight movements is taken from farm strips. Usually there is a movements book at these strips which is generally filled in on a casual basis or not filled in at all sometimes by pilots.
