I used to work on the base too and find myself once again living close by. Some buildings have been demolished and houses being built but these are Southof Camp Road and included my old office.
There is a heritage centre being set up and have rescued various murals etc. They also do the odd tour too.https://www.facebook.com/rafuhhc?ref=ts&fref=ts

The base looks to have survived even better than Bentwaters.

there is a very similar atmosphere when left to walk around the buildings at the former Rover factory in Longbridge!

Thank you for posting.

Amazing stuff

I hope the Airfield is preserved in its current state to educate the future generations and remember those of the past
