RAF Base or Station?
When I was attached as a civvy, it was always to an RAF (name follows) and called a station, with a Staish.
My granddaughter, newly minted as RAF Regiment Reserve refers to RAF Honington as a base. I think that is an Americanism.
Before I berate her, should I perhaps move with the times? I hope not.
Anyway, she is bigger than I am [most people are].
