In the area next to the Viables cottages there doesn't seem to be anywhere to store an aircraft, whereas there are a number of possibilities around Hatch Warren Farm. I also think that area around the cottages may well have been built over by 1979, whereas the building work seemingly hadn't got to Hatch Warren farm by 1983.

Edit to add:
If you slightly click away from the area you are interested in, you can sometimes get a different choice of maps to look at.
Hi nvubu,

I agree with you, that track at Hatch Warren farm seems to end with some farm buildings in the NE corner, one of which could have been used as a hangar of sorts. That’s presuming it was hangared of course! The fact that it was built over by 1979 would tie in with the move to Odiham/Blackbushe by the early 80s...
