In general no, but in any case I doubt that anyone "in the know" would want to provide further information.

Weston use the runway every other week for touch and go's when we're not busy. And very occasionally(maybe only once a year!) we get a rich civvie using here to land their/chartered exec jet.

Hi there
It depends on what you define as civil traffic.There have been aircraft as diverse as geographic survey aircraft(Learjet, Casa 212),State-registered VIP aircraft from foreign countries, nominally operated by the military, hired-in aircraft (N407FD comes to mind),aircraft bringing civil servants to/from Belfast(Woodgate's Navajo),aircraft in for film-making (JU-52, B.707) rich people's biz-jets (EI-LJG comes to mind), emergency divertees( a certain EC-120 having a mobile-phone crisis), all the aircraft that fly in for airshows that are not military and occasional Westonites. The Don gets quite a bit of civvie traffic, that the average taxpayer doesn't know or care about.
