I think Sven knows at least something about toilets
Now seriously, what about trying to look on photomap from these days? I was in museum near York (bomber base) and may be it could help. Check it
I have the same set and keep playing with it on how to put it together so it makes sense. The smaller quansit huts would be barracks. The two with the connection could be a mess hall or briefing room and the buildings would be some sort of admin buildings. Not sure how they would fit on the base.

I just got this set and many other buildings from Brigade. Thanks for the info on whats what.
The layouts vary Keith but have a look at this link and it may give you some ideas http://www.milairpix.com/ukairfieldmaps.htm, or just search on RAF Airfield Layout and take your pick !
If you set your Hangars & Control Tower out, put the Nissen huts behind and the more substantial buildings nearby you probably won't be far wrong.

Peter the guys that do BRIGADE minis are usually at HISTORICON. Last year I bought some of their 1/600 plane (why I don't know other than I thought they were cool). The buildings look good as a 3D target to add to a table.
