Damn. The Benson picture was probably the first one I've been able to recognise, and I was beaten to it.
The large house is just by where you carry out your power checks for runway 19, and apparently they do complain about the noise. 01 is the preferred runway for the UAS/AEF. Then they are about 500ft as they pass the house. Helicopters are noisy where ever they are.

Further trivia - there was a follow up to 'Soap' with the title 'Benson' with the same actor as the butler.

The sitcom was called "Soap" a spoof of..... It ran from 1977 to 1981. The butlers name was Benson.

The stables were converted into houses in the 90's and despite being aware of the fact that they were right next to the airfield the new owners still bought them and then complained about aircraft noise (mostly from helicopters).

Well PNK, looks like your 24/7 internet trawling of airfield maps / pics has paid off. Well done.
