Can anybody ID the station in this short British Pathe video?

Scampton?

Possibly just after 27 Sqn reformed with Canberras.

Having matched some of the details seen in the film with old aerial photos, I would agree that it is very likely to be RAF Scampton. There is no doubting the elephant mascot and squadron badges on the aircrew flying suits - 27 Sqn reformed at Scampton, with Canberras, on 15 June 1953 although I see that on the British Pathe website they categorise this film as "Issue Date: 1954".
