As Bonds tend to be filmed at Pinewood my guess is the guardroom is Northolt as its very near. And the Vulcan film is RAF stock film, so yes its probably Scampton.
AH-HAAAA!!!!
After a bit more googling using the term "Northolt Guard room" I can accross THIS site...

And it was indeed RAF Northolt.
Thanks to all who replied!

In the days of the cold war would the RAF have been keen on filming at a nuclear base???

Some of the filming was done at Waddo. One of the aircraft was marshalled out by a gent called Leatherbarrow. Not that he ever told anyone about his starring role you understand

And which airfields were used for Goldfinger? My guess is Northolt again and possibly Bovingdon.

Philbasidon, I always that was Cheddington but I may be wrong.
You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!

NP, You didn't put any 'thought' into that at all.

In the nicest possible way.
