TARKEY - Have n`t you forgotten Halesworth and Leiston ?
My nearest is Treligga (HMS Vulture 11) approx 1/2 mile away on the cliffs overlooking Port Isaac Bay and RAF Davidstowat at about 4 miles as the crow flies, the highest WW2 operational airfield in the UK.
Being in Northamptonshire I'm spoilt for choice. Similar to buccaneer, but I'll add some more to the south, such as (from memory):
Thurleigh
Twinwood
RAE Bedford
Chelveston
Podington
Alconbury
Molesworth
erm...going off to check Google Earth...
My nearest is RAF Dunsfold 3 miles away. Hangs on just thanks to Top Gear and,dare I say it,rich stock broker types who keep fighting off plans to build 2500 homes on the site.I am convinced that one day these plans to build will go through.
My nearest is the former RAF Yeadon, now Leeds Bradford International, then there is RAF Sherburn in Elmet, RAF Church Fenton, RAF Tadcaster ( ww1 ), and all the fields around York.
