+ About
+ Swansea Airport stands on a site with deep aviation roots. Before operating as Swansea
+ Airport, the airfield was known as RAF Fairwood Common.
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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.
