What is unique about Kinloss and Leuchars is the airfields both remain active as primary diversions and have, in Leuchars case anyhow, locally based aircraft and also handle other movements. This is quite unique, under the circumstances with the Army as residents in chief, with the tower and other accessories still in use. Everywhere else no matter what link to aviation was never on the same scale of preservation, i.e. Abingdon, Fulton Barracks, has had its ATC tower knocked down after years of being abandoned even though they hold the country and air show there each May.
