Randomly, what was the ICAO and IATA codes for this long closed airfield?

Thanks!

I can't help with the ICAO code, but I'd be very surprised if the IATA code wasn't GLA, like its successor.

EGPF, same as GLA now.

Where a new airport opens, replacing an old one that then closes, it usually takes over the IATA and ICAO codes from its predecessor - Denver is another more recent example.

Though doubtless somebody will be able to come up with an exception. :O
