Hello Maestro,
I am a long term member of the Airfield Research Group (ARG) located in Britain. The aim of the group is the study and recording of our WW2 airfields and architecture.
Our journal, published quarterly, is titled 'Airfield Review'. Some of our members are authors who have published books on WW2 airfields and buildings.
I will browse back through many years of the Reviews because some contain dimensional drawings of airfield buildings that could be rescaled to 1/48 to suit your project. It would be useful to know whether you intend to build a 'representative' airfield or model a specific airfield (presumably one from which Canadian flyers operated?). As you will appreciate, airfields built during the 'expansion period' of the RAF were built to a standard layout usually with permanent 'C' type hangars whereas airfields constructed during the war had temporary buildings with 'T' type hangars.
If you let me know your intention, I can focus on the appropriate buildings.
Your local public library may be able to locate the following books;

Give me some more details of your proposed diorama and I will see what I can come up with.
