RAF Molesworth has a long and interesting history
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Molesworth
It was the site of mass demonstrations in the 1980's. People were objecting the the base being used to store cruise missiles.
When you fly over this part of the UK (East Anglia) you can always spot old air bases. Some are still being used. Others are little more than a perimeter track.
Usually their would be a main base, with half a dozen smaller satellite bases nearby.
