UK.
That's the one; it shows up better on the ZoomEarth image for Sept 2018; you can see a gap in the hedgerow to the west of a 'hangar' like building.
Both this and Scotland Farm were still in use when I retired in 2008; aircraft from both airfields would call us on 125.250 on summer evenings after Odiham had closed.
