A wartime scene......

[The Real Slim Shady]

Looking south / southwest given the position of the sun. Runway in the background aligned east / west or southeast / northwest.

Variety of types including a glider by the looks of things and Typhoons.

Market Garden springs to mind so probably somewhere in East Anglia.
