Not Hanwoth or Hendon.

The airfield is now disused. Parts are still visible on google earth etc but these hangars etc have gone. The trees still stand as does the house next to the trees close to the road.

Not Cranford (thought that was a BBC period drama!)
Croydon
Squires Gate
Detling.

The road that runs left to right is still there now. The field beyond the road that contained tents now has some huts similar to those on this side. The entry to the "tent field" is still their.

A couple of guesses have been in the correct county.
