Many moons ago it was decided that Waddo would house the RCDS visit. The briefing room that we had tried for years to get updated from its WW2 Mass Bomber briefing image (it was only 12 years old) was torn inside out, acoustic tiles added, snazzle lighting, gucci history pics etc and the whole paid from the RAF 'let's impress the RCDS' pot. I think it has been redone since.
Coningsby had its Bastard Bill Suite done on the 'let's impress the CinC pot' and named after him. It may have impressed BB but the Gp Capt still lives locally as Gp Capt rtd. Maybe the sound proofing is not as good.
PS
While you can look AT a Typhoon you can go IN TO a Sentry or Sentinel - better in the cold and wet.
