I did a quick check and RAF Fylingdales is easy to find on Apple and Google maps. However, my OS Maps app won't find it even though I can find other 'normal' RAF bases (e.g. RAF Lossiemouth).

I should be surprised that OS still don't list it, but I think it's almost quaint these days. :)

Well, for doing anything outdoors I'd take OS 1:25000 maps over Google or Apple maps any day (both the app and backup paper versions).

Me too. I meant the continued absence of a huge base and radomes from the OS maps was the quaint relic, expressed poorly. :)
