	Swansea Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Swansea Airport (IATA: SWS, ICAO: EGFH) is a minor airport located at Fairwood Common on the Gower Peninsula to the west of Swansea.
		It was not until 1956 that the RAF released the airport land to Swansea City Council, to allow the airport to be developed for commercial usage.
		According to the documentary, Swansea Airport, with the connivance of Swansea Council, was given the go-ahead to operate in the centre of the Gower Peninsula, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the first AONB to be designated in the country.

	Swansea Airport - UK Airports
		On the night of February 16th/17th 1943 Swansea endured a particularly heavy raid, which thankfully proved to be the last air-raid of Swansea during the war.
		Unfortuately, the airport failed to be financially viable enough for Cambrian Airways to continue ownership and was sold to Swansea Council in 1959.
		A local coalition group against the airport, called SANE (Swansea Airport no Expansion) was organised to petition against the proposals to increase the number of flights and Council funding from community tax, highlighting the false economy and environmental damage caused by aviation.

	The South Wales Open Championships - 2004
		Whilst Swansea Airport has two and a half runways and several cluttered aprons, Elvington has but one runway, the length of which exceeds the total of Swansea’s two and a half, and an apron measuring 50 (fifty!) totally naked acres.
		But as Swansea Airport is probably the worst location for an aerobatic contest (and – unless you are in the market for sheep or pretty girls ~ anything else for that matter) Elvington is probably the best.
		For whilst some of the equipment at Swansea might be destined for a museum, Elvington has its own immaculately maintained and professionally managed Yorkshire Air Museum, with its excellent cafeteria, spotless toilets, and spectacular exhibits, mostly manned by twinkly eyed old gentlemen.
