"Tally Ho" is the motto of 609 sqn, based at Leeming.

Not Finningley, the connection is quite a direct one. The clues again:
Tally Ho, an aerodrome
1. A squadron based there had a canid connection. (Could be 12 Sqn)
2. The neighbours to the north have a beautiful view.
3. The neighbours to the west are vegetarian.

Good morning YS, the train of thought was:
1.Canid - Fox - 12 Sqn.
2.Tally Ho - hunting - John Peel - Peel Airports
3.Vegetarian - John Lennon - Liverpool Airport may be western neighbour.
4.Look for another Peel Airport to the East.
Was any of this train going in the right direction?

Morning NutherA2,
Yes, right sort of direction, you have made the correct connection and have one clue of the three correct. Here is a fourth (and last as I can't think of any more!)
Near a knitted fox?
Good luck

Rather than have this one dragging on into 2012 here is the answer:
Tally Ho, an aerodrome.
Cottesmore is the only aerodrome (AFAIK) that shares a name with the the local fox hunt.
Clues:
1. The squadron with the canid connection is 12 Sqn, based there with the Vulcan.
2. The neighbours to the north with the beautiful view are the Belvoir Hunt.
3. The vegetarian neighbours to the west are the Quorn Hunt (sorry if that’s a bit corny!)
4. The knitted fox nearby is Woolfox Lodge, just across the A1 from Cottesmore.
Open house

In common with some 59,999 other Fife residents I've been powerless for a couple of days; just back on line, but little grey cells not yet completely thawed out. Could the solution have anything to do with a QFI on Hogmanay? (as in Tipsy Trainer)
