You fly don't you? That's a reference to FAA or NTSB standards of the present day. This English field, currently may be closed but there is no painted over numbers.... Even today's paints and surface painting techniques, you will see the "old" markings.
Yeah, I'm a pilot.
Could it be that only a few specific airports in UK did not have numbers? Also what about the airports in UK that US used, did thous have numbers? I seen pictures of that era of airports that had and did not have numbers, however I'm not sure where they were located.
