The design and build of these buildings is extremely robust and renovation would not be difficult. The architecture as aesthetically pleasing but it is the history attached to them, especially the Officers Mess, that could create a business case for preservation and as such unlock local government safes. My time is limited so research is non exestant at the moment.
As an operational station during WW2 there was two squadrons of Lancasters and one squadron of Mosquitos (path finders). I would wager that more than a few medals for bravery were earned by aircrew during thoses years, many of whom would have lived in the OM.
