       Swansea Airport stands on a site with deep aviation roots. Before operating as Swansea
       Airport, the airfield was known as RAF Fairwood Common.
     </p>
 
-    <p>
+    <p class="reveal-item" data-reveal>
       During the wartime period, Fairwood Common played an operational role as part of the wider
       air defence and training network. Its location on the Gower Peninsula gave it a strategic
       position, and over time the airfield developed infrastructure that shaped its later civil use.
     </p>
 
-    <p>
+    <p class="reveal-item" data-reveal>
       In the post-war years, the site evolved from military use into a civilian aerodrome. That
       transition reflected the broader story of many UK airfields, where former RAF stations became
       local centres for flight training, private aviation, and community flying activity.
     </p>
 
-    <p>
+    <p class="reveal-item" data-reveal>
       Today, Swansea Airport continues that legacy. While the role of the airfield has changed, its
       connection to aviation history remains central to its identity, linking RAF Fairwood Common's
       past with present-day operations serving Swansea and the surrounding region.
