Not having the knowledge of the 2 respondents, I copied and pasted the co-ords into Google Earth.
It not only took me straight there, but when you zoom in on one of the buildings, it puts up:

D Type Hangars, Aston Down Airfield, Gloucestershire
Aston Down Aerodrome, Aston Down, Stroud, Gloucestershire GL6, UK (Address is approximate)

And if that wasn't stunning enough, it even offered various views dating back to 1945.
I be 'mazed!

You can also use street view to look at it from ground level

There's good scenery for Aston Down available here: http://shepsshed.com/bits.htm In both FS9 and FSX flavours.



I flew in gliders there a couple of times in the late seventies but couldn't afford to keep it up.
