The pub itself is in the village of Scampton, but as 814man suggests, it's not that easy to get to as it's on the southwest side of the base (the main gate is on the east side on the A15). For thos with Google Earth, I will update its precise location in a couple of minutes. Here it is:
53d18m05.34sN 0d34m21.03sW. The pub is south-facing.
I believe Scampton was originally RAF Brattleby anyway, but can't say whether that was the preferred option for Guy Gibson and the Black Dog - the villages are both on the west side of the Base.
I haven't been in the Dambusters Inn myself, but one of my colleagues has and says they don't let children in - I know it's a moot point, but it seems to me that the young are precisely those who should have access to our heritage.
£99K doesn't seem that expensive to me.
