Out currently so can't taken pic. Opened one yesterday and it is lined with a few bit of foam and then connected to a tube that goes to a vent outside.
No gas appliances any more, although there did used to be 2 gas fires in the house.
Yes the house is below the flight path of a US Air Base. I've just had the windows replaced but not sure about vents. I don't mind having vents just not something so large hanging off every wall in the house.
They were probably installed to provide ventilation without having the windows open under a noisy flight path. They did similar round here to houses that fronted onto a busy round that was made dual-carriageway so they could seal the noise out but provide ventilation to prevent condensation.
As already mentioned, remove with caution as condensation may rear its head if you do away with them completely.
