This side of the hedge on the other side of the standing wheat about perpendicular to it -- makes about 20 degrees from the top left corner of the piccy down to the right -- seems to have lots of length as goes over brow of hill -- best to land uphill;)
Second candidate this side of hedge going down right side of piccy where people are standing as cutting pattern indicates even ground, but may need more length than in piccy for most a/c.

The answer is

Approach was from the south over the water butt. ……
The farmer had rolled the ground to give us approx 1,000mts
but he followed the shape of the field that’s why it is so curved.
To the right is MIDDLE WALLOP by 1 field and we were using their
Wind Sock, which is just of the pic to the right.
Here is a Pic of some of the lucky people who went to the Ball
and had a flight in the AN2
The date was 28th of July 2007 :O :O :O
