I am a little confused with your placemarks and the thread title.
The title implies that the placemarks are RAF Stations (Bases) were never RAF (e.g Brooklands , Wisley, White Waltham) and others were WW2 Decoy sites ('Q' Sites).
I am not decrying your efforts but there is a need to sub-categorise them for accuracy and use different placemark icons for non-airfield sites.

Slight change of location for RAF Danby Beacon in North Yorkshire - will save duplicating if I post the true location from my GPS

Good posting, well done.
