Editing Glamorgan (section)

===Airports===
Glamorgan was served by several airports and airfields, with [[Cardiff Airport]] being the county's chief airport. Cardiff Airport grew from a [[RAF Rhoose|former RAF station]] built in 1942 at [[Rhoose]],<ref name="Davies20">Davies (2008) p.20</ref> and was originally known as Rhoose Airport. In 1970 it became 'Glamorgan, Rhoose Airport' before becoming 'Cardiff-Wales airport' in the 1980s.

Glamorgan's second commercial airport was [[Swansea Airport]] which also began as an RAF station, before being released to commercial usage in 1956. The airport saw varying degrees of success until regular flights ceased in 1969. Several other airports and aerodromes have serviced Glamorgan, but usually for private flights. The most notorious aviation disaster in Wales occurred in Glamorgan in 1950, when a privately hired [[Avro Tudor]] crashed at [[RAF Llandow|Llandow Aerodrome]]. The [[Llandow air disaster]] was, at the time, the world's worst aviation disaster.<ref name="Davies816">Davies (2008), p.816</ref>
