While most people know the major English airports (Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester etc), there are a surprising number of airfields currently in use. Here is a list of the main ones as recognised by the IATA (International Air Transport Association), who assign airport codes. I have omitted military airbases, but don't be fooled; most are not used by major commercial airlines, and/or are privately owned. Oh, and I will be covering airports across the rest of the UK later...
