Now a Museum
The former base commander's building by the main gate to Upper Heyford airfield.
There is still a checkpoint outside, controlling access to what is now Upper Heyford Business Park.
The first floor houses a museum of the airfield's service days. http://www.raf-upper-heyford.org/Museum.html
The following wonderful bit of aviation trivia is a snippet from that site.
"RAF Upper Heyford is the only base in the world that had an aircraft named after it. The Heyford was a twin engine, bi-plane bomber that saw service between the wars, and to my knowledge never fired a shot, or dropped a bomb in anger."

Upper Heyford Telephone Exchange (1)
Located at 148 Heyford Park off Camp Road, this redbrick building rather resembles an army store. It has the code SMUH and provides telephone and broadband services to Heyford Park plus Upper Heyford nearby. A white BT warning notice can be seen on the right hand door.

Communications Building
The sign reads 620th Communications Squadron. This was a working military airfield until 1993 but a lot of the buildings look distinctly World War 2.
Nice to know our taxes aren't being frittered on fancy huts.
