I'm no petrolhead but one quick look at the competition told me the way to go. The second sentence reads "Did my friend just tell me we’re off to honour a triumph?". That should be good enough to tell you the make of vehicle that's involved, with a reference to a 'factory visitor experience' at the end of the clues linking in with that.
With that behind you, simply google to find the location of the said factory visitor experience on Google Maps. Then, since that site is two miles south-east of the former airfield, you need to be looking for the name of a village (from which the RAF station took its name) roughly two miles to the north-west.
I actually recognised the name straight away, as I've probably heard of the majority of old RAF bases but you might need to try googling 'RAF', followed by the name of any likely village, to get your answer.
All of that took me less than a minute from first reading through the clues and I'm confident that I'm on the right track. (It's taken me a lot longer to type all of this out!). However I've not gone any further, so I'll leave it to you to tie the rest of it together.
