Hullavington?
I must admit I thought it might've been Odiham too.
Edit- The presence of what appears to be a TACR Rangey probably means it's not Hullavy, but almost certainly military.
Wild guess- Wittering?

Not Hulavington or Old Warden.
It is very rare to see fixed wing aircraft here or anything civil. The "Travelodge" was only built in 2006 so does not appear on flashearth but the hangars (there is more than one) and the airfield are visable.

Not Culdrose, Marham, Wittering or Shawbury.
To recap...
It is ex RAF but still active military.
You may still see occaisional flying in relation to this but almost certainly rotary. The chances of seeing civil aircraft at this base are only slightly better than zero (I think it has only been open on two days in the last ten years or more).
New clue - There is a museum in the control tower.

Mr Grubby has it!
Bassingbourn, home of the Memphis Belle. Also the fist jet Bomber OCU in the world and there is still a Camberra there as a gate guardian. The picture was taken at a fly-in organised by the air cadets in 2006 (that their new "Travelodge" in the background!).
Over to you.
