Kemble is EGBP (ICAO). The 3 letter codes are IATA and not all airfields are subscribed. Kemble doesn't appear to be.

Thanks every one

Interesting that BOAC info gives Kemble (website EGBP) as Pailton Radio Measuring STN and that Kemble is given as EGDK Hope I dont have to file a flight plan there in the near future


But in either case I can see it does not have a 3 letter code

Happy flying too all

....suspect EGDK is the former Military identifier for Kemble, on the basis that Lyneham, just down the road, is EGDL.

Eng - that's no way to talk about RAF Lyneham

The Military have EGBP for Kemble in their supplements...................and this site is updated daily and confirms it. Great site which I suggest you bookmark.

Yup! Must put a caveat on the site I mentioned above - it seems to be 'unmaintained' as I tried emailing to update Kemble but the 'e' bounced.
