Which airfield is this

While sniffing around for pictures of a particular derelict mansion, I came across this site and found these pics.
http://www.location-works.co.uk/library/pics/87/4509/index.html.
I suspect that it’s West Raynham, I can’t think of anywhere else in Norfolk that it could be, I particularly like the inside of the dome, I hope this building is preserved somehow, though I doubt it.
For those of you who have seen the film ‘The Last Hangman’, the hangar looks like the location used to film the post Nuremburg executions, the square patch on the floor could be the site of the gallows.
Anyway, interesting site which doesn’t give away the locations, though I recognise a few of them.
Amazing how places can fall apart so quickly.

Comparing the shots of the Tower, and the Dome, with Google Earth pix it does seem to indicate W Raynham. However, there is a structure on the horizon to the left of the Tower shot. The same(?) structure can be seen on the horizon to the right of the Dome shot. The sun is obviously at about 120 degs – so an early morning GE pic. The structure seems quite high, but I can’t find a structure on GE casting that sort of shadow?

Thats rather complex and indepth, however credit where credit is due, Sir.

Is it jolly old Sculthorpe again? Looks like same VHB tower design.
Or Feltwel?
RAF West Raynham had the same tower design also – so could be
