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."

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.

Water Tower, Upper Heyford Airfield
This may well still be in service as many of the former military buildings and houses on the airfield site are now in civilian use.
