I wonder if this might be the home of Handley Page... Radlet or Hatfield?

You were too quick in replying, because I was editing my earlier response... Radlett?

Well spotted LXXIV - Hooton Park long before it became built over by Vauxhall Motors, Ellesmere Port. I cut out the Manchester Ship Canal as it was a giveaway. A couple of the truss hangars remain (listed) and there is a small collection of aircraft - including a Meteor to represent the City of Chester Auxilliary RAF squadron that was based there.
You have control.

I believe that 74 declared Open House more than 12 hours ago. I hope I'm not being too forward by proposing the following Challenge.

Hooton Park

As a junior inspector aged 15, (mainly collecting serial nos of Embodiment Loan items), I was employed at Martin Hearn's works at HP. The job of my dreams for a young aircraft mad lad. Led on to 42 years in the RAF, what else?

Canada ? Looks like the typical RCAF 'triangle' pattern.

Not Canada, but in the correct hemisphere.

Too far west.

Edited to add a clue:

This aerodrome is about 3 miles from the center of the city it serves and is about 400 feet higher.


Closing down soon. Should be back by about 10:00 GMT on Monday.

Must be time for another clue.

This aerodrome is located in one of the most-densely-populated states.

It looks like UK somewhere.
I thought Blackpool, but I can't make it fit.
The railway in the foreground with the bridge over, and the rows of terraced houses in the background should fix it.
