Looking for a list of RAF Airfields that were active around Little Rissington in 1975 and now closed, where the CFS Bulldogs could have ventured, I will need the Airport code and location for flight planning

I have
Upper Heyford
Abingdon

South Cerney?
Greenham Common?
Alconbury
Swanton Morley
Bedford EGVW?

Any others

Gary

The ones I know off the top of my head are
Abingdon EGUD - N51* 41.412971' W1* 18.854558' 245
Upper Heyford EGUA - N51* 56.034416' W1* 15.227460' 437
Greenham Common EGVI - N51* 23.079998' W1* 17.290991' 374
Alconbury EGWZ - N52* 22.310234' W0* 13.211301' 161
Bedford EGVW - N52* 13.494008' W0* 27.589309' 262.5

Others like these would be
Kemble EGDK (changed to EGBP later on) - N51* 40.1875' W02* 03.4529' 435
Benson EGUB - N51* 36.9790' W01* 05.7497' 226

What do mean when you say location?

Coordinates presumably, given that a lot of former RAF airfields have closed over the years.
