While Bicester may be a good site for a Bomber Command Heritage Centre I have to say that Scampton would be a far better bet. It too is a fine example of an expansion period station and the central core of the unit remains largely as was in WWII. It has the added cache of 617 Sqn and the Dams raid, Niggers grave and of course is in Lincolnshire which is known as Bomber County. The station did recieve some additional building in the 1950s but this too was for Bomber Command purposes being a V bomber station. So for a true tribute to offensive air power Scampton would get my vote.
