I guess 622 Trenchard lines would be correct, but then most people would immediately ask ...where?
Correction noted but I'm surprised the airfield is operated on behalf of the Army now; often when they move onto an ex RAF airfield they find some way of destroying its capabilites; just look what they did to Catterick which of course used to have a VGS. South Cerney also used to have a VGS (625?) and once hosted the gliding world championships but having a tall fence all round the airfield probably wasn't too helpful.
