Hi DaveF,
Colerne was withdrawn from the UK Military AIP in March 2025 (https://www.aidu.mod.uk/aip/pdf/enr/ENR-6-19.pdf) and the crosses painted on the runways and taxiways indicate it is not in use. However, on checking further it appears that RAF Brize Norton Gliding Club began using the airfield for gliding this year. I've adjusted the tags to change the site back to a military airfield and added aerodrome:type=gliding.

Hello, thanks for spotting the typo. I've updated the tags to fix the errors

Hi Andy
Most sources refer to it as one name or the other, rather than both.

There is a press article which does refer to both names as being one place (https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/14124614.military-medics-front-line-battle-ebola-honoured/)

There's a few MOD documents that refer to the site as Towthorpe Lines –
- 2016 Better Defence Estate strategy (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/better-defence-estate-strategy)
- Annex A - Estate Baseline 2009 (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/defence-estates-development-plan-dedp-2009)
- a press article also refers to it and the neighbouring Queen Elizabeth Barracks (https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/24217321.strensall-barracks-saved-york-army-base-will-not-sold-off-mod/)

Finally, there is an official X account for the Army Medical Services Training Centre (https://x.com/amstc1?lang=en)

Hope that helps.

Hello, I believe it is used by the civilian Pathfinder Flying Club. The RAF webpage says there is no military flying from Wyton any longer. There is some information about the construction of the runway here: https://www.glebefarmfoods.co.uk/2016/05/18/glebe-farm-get-recognition-help-keep-flying-raf-wyton/

Hello, I've removed it and also added disused:aeroway=aerodrome

Hello, I'm fairly certain the airfield is disused as it is no longer listed in the UK military AIP (https://www.aidu.mod.uk/aip/aipVolumes.html#ad-tab). Those tags would seem appropriate, so I've added them in.

Hi GinaroZ, it is open to the public to collect undelivered items and drop of items for sending so I settled on the post office tag, but on looking at amenity=post_depot I would agree that would be more appropriate. I've updated the tag.

Hi Bernard, I tagged these ways as access=no as they form part of a military base where access to the public is restricted. The "List of possible values" table at the guidance page says access=no should be used when "General public access is prohibited. Stronger interdiction than private. Examples: A fully closed road; A restricted military facility." Unless I've misunderstood the guidance, I would consider access=no to be the appropriate tag. Regards Thx811
