Interesting. I will check the online OED and the scowl lists to see if these have been added recently.
It seems aeroplane is preferred over airplane in en-GB but automobile is a word in British English. In fact Britain had one of the first "Automobile Associations" in 1905.
So these word lists updates will have to be carefully checked.
