My simple understanding was that aircraft are based and people are stationed. It gets very silly when the Press, bless 'em refer to "Army Bases". The concept of a Base must be totally devalued since the Westo Press/Other Media began referring to the "MoD Base at Abbey Wood". These people are serious, too.
