Not sure what the letters stand for, but I’m going to have a stab at

Spot on well done

F, H, C, D are the only codes used by the based fast jets; F.2 and now Typhoons - so I have read, not having been there personally or actually seen a 1435FLT fighter in full marks

One more easy one?

Sounds like you need to keep an eye on granny and the kids when attending this British base's family day!

Was thinking Mount Pleasant myself, but couldn't get the relevance of the letters.

“It looks like it’s going to be a mighty fine 24hrs North of the border at this former RAF base, although the locals will say different.”
