For those confused by Bases and Stations. During WW2, the large expansion period Stations of Bomber Command were given administrative control of more temporary satellite stations. So, for example, Waddington controlled the satellites at Skellingthorpe and Bardney. The complex was known as "Base 53", ie the third base of 5 Group. Each of the Stations had a Group Captain Station Commander, but each Base had an Air Commodore as "Base Commander" who was usually found at the larger main Station. You can easily find a list of all Stations and associated Bases on line.
