In the 90s, as GW1 was drawing to a close, a Hercules C130k from Lyneham called finals into a well known military airbase in Turkey. Their arrival at a well known civilian airport was greeted with some surprise. There were some "rolling eyeballs" at Lyneham when the news arrived as the navigator on the flight was the senior crew member on board (I believe the navigator) was the station commander. With Danny42c's comments I suspect that little changed over the intervening period.
