As Yellow Sun has commented, RAF Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis should be included.

From 1960 to 1983, RAF Stornoway was home to No. 112 Signals Unit, an electronic countermeasures measurement and evaluation unit that measured multiple RF aspects of Handley Page Victor and Avro Vulcan bombers as they flew set courses. Although not the home base for any squadron, it remained an active airfield during this period. As a small sprog I lived there in the mid-sixties, eating the fresh fruit and veg flown in on Her Majesty's shilling!
