Dunsfold may operate profitably, but its not because of aviation. Any profit is generated by hiring out the runway for non aviation activity to the likes of Top Gear, Mc Claren etc and renting out old hangars to non aviation businesses.

If the owners could get planning consent for housing, which they have tried many times to do, they'd shut the airfield down overnight.

Again its the case of not the airfield, but the land its sat on.
