RAF Cottesmore's layout closely resembled that of Saltby as each was designated as a Class A airfield.
Like Saltby, the main runway was 6,000 ft in length with two 4,200 ft auxiliaries. Even two of its runways were aligned the same at 07/25 and 02/20 with the third oriented as 01/19. The shared design also has 50 foot wide perimeter track
It does not seem, however, to have nearly as many enclosed hardstands to protect the aircraft on the ground.
