Which Aerodrome?
It is not Little Rissington, Cranwell, Henlow, Odiham, Bicester, Driffield, Harwell, Bircham Newton, South Cerney, Cranfield, Debden, or Newton.
Although one of those guesses is quite close.

Speedpig has it, but not for the right reasons.
This was the second watch office at Waddington, replacing one that was on top of the Mere Road hangar complex. This tower was demolished when the runways were built and the taxiways widened.
There have been a total of 5 control buildings at Waddington, 3 still exist
Answers to the clues:
There is a flying club and the Lincs Air ambulance helicopter based here.
Cranwell is close to Waddington
Many overseas aircraft visit the Airshow every year
The Main road to the camp is the A607, and the gate guard is XM607.
50 Sqn was at Upwood with Canberra aircraft and disbanded at Waddington in 1984.
The Gash bus company (its actual name) used to run busses in Lincoln, and their garage is just down the A607 from the camp, it burned down last year, taking a few old busses with it.
Over to Speedpig.

Great challenge thanks.
And there was me thinking the road was A36, and started looking for aircraft type rather than reg.
The Gash bus company gave me the best clue, so was a bit lucky as I only found the Bowbridge Road depot and then used Google Earth to find the nearest airfield.
Is the Vulcan still there?
I regret to announce it's open house as I'm not at home.
Help yourselves guys.

Yes, Speedpig, XM607 is still there, now parked over by the A15, opposite the spotters enclosure.
She was cleaned and repainted last year, and externally looks quite good.
As Speedpig has declared open house, we all await the next picture.
So first one in gets the call.
