There are too many airfields for me list here so I have attached a list site from Wikipedia.
The proliferation of airfields was largely driven by the rapid expansion of aviation during the early to mid-20th century, particularly during and after World War II. Military needs necessitated the construction of numerous airfields for training, logistics, and combat operations. Additionally, the post-war boom in commercial aviation led to the establishment of many civilian airfields to accommodate growing passenger and cargo traffic. This trend continued as air travel became an integral part of global transportation networks.
The number of British soldiers killed in World War 1 was about 880,000.
About 14,000 people dies during the world war 2.
During World War II, it is estimated that around 60,000 civilians died in Britain as a result of enemy actions, including bombings during the Blitz and other air raids. Additionally, thousands more were injured, and many cities experienced significant destruction. The war also caused indirect deaths through factors like food shortages and healthcare disruptions. Overall, the civilian toll was a tragic aspect of the conflict in Britain.
There were 102 airfields split into 4 groups = 10, 11, 12 & 13. For a full listing and other information I suggest a visit to the Battle of Britain web @ http://www.raf.mod.uk/bob1940/11group.html

Lincolnshire is home to several airfields, with notable ones including RAF Coningsby, RAF Waddington, and East Kirkby. In total, there are around 20 operational and former airfields in the region, reflecting its historical significance in aviation, especially during World War II. Many of these airfields are now used for civilian flying, aviation museums, or have been repurposed for other uses.

There are about 50 RAF airfields in the UK.
It wasn't. The Battle of Britain was just one of many battles fought during World War II.
During WWII, England had MANY airfields from which to operate, not all of which were in southern England.
Lots.

Germany and Britain were on opposite sides during World War II so they didn't send Britain any planes except on bombing missions.
During the Battle of Britain, many pilots lived in temporary accommodations near their airfields, such as barracks or requisitioned homes. Some were stationed in nearby towns and villages, while others resided in facilities provided by their squadrons. Many pilots also commuted from their homes, especially those who lived in the surrounding areas of southern England. The living conditions varied, often reflecting the urgency and chaos of wartime.
