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)

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.
