We designed and built the travel website for the new development on the airfield, so was lucky enough to get a tour around the airfield, some really cool old stuff there so suggest keeping your eyes open for open days particularly on the old U2 spy plane photo bunker (big enough to drive into in a Discovery) and surrounding bits.
The quality of the houses and infrastructure puts all the ones I've seen in Bedfordshire to shame.

Likewise, had the full tour with work inc. all areas of the bunker - bloody cool place, unfortunately the runway was full of cars/storage containers so no drag races could be performed :/The quality of the houses and infrastructure puts all the ones I've seen in Bedfordshire to shame.

We got a bit of a run up the runway, but the end had motorcycle training going on. Not sure vmax in a Disco 4 is much cop mind! I used to work for a company that rented a few hangers, we had a couple of the bomb hangers and a couple of the all weather hangers, we used to sit up in the roof or would sit on the water tank watching track days, I've also seen well into 3 figures as part of a VW fleet day in an r8 on half a runway. It's an impressive place, the biggest highlight was a raf chinook flying over around 100ft off the ground.

Yes, it does. Fortunately, the house I'm buying is one of the more modern ones, and is built up a slope from the road and is elevated anyway. The survey (and owner) says it didn't flood even in the highest recorded one in (IIRC) 1996. I'll treat is as an excuse to put a snorkel and wading kit on the Landy
