I think a few are used for gliderports, and of course a few are used

The RAF seem to be scaling things down quite a bit recently. I know of at
least one RAF base that is now run as a civilian operation evenings and
weekends. Also, there's an airfield near where I'm based that is used
primarily for gliders these days (although they do accept powered traffic
too I understand). In fact, that's where I did my first few PFL practices
