Just going over the Security implications at Waddington once again, is this only a sudden realization and not just an opportunity afforded by the runway re-work to move toward a new less visible, low key RAF? Through the last four decades and more, air bases with all kinds of sensitivity opened their gates to the general public, including ones with Nuclear weapons storage? Islamic terrorism has been a constant threat for years. Before that, the IRA were perhaps a more serious physical threat to security.
I can understand the concerns about the sensitive nature over Reaper operations, but wouldn't expect the location of the control room to be sign posted on base? Indeed, I'd expect it to be a mystery wrapped in a puzzle inside an enigma... or what it was that Churchill said about the USSR.
