Ok Skytrain10.

My first thoughts on this one are that it is Duxford. A wild guess I know but the flat horizon and the pans seem to conjure up that thought in my mind. RR

Given the flatness and aircraft types, Cranwell?

Looking through the list of FTSs the name Spitalgte comes up a lot. I don't know it but could it be that? RR

Here's a real guess...No 2 FTS Brize Norton, 1937-ish?

Based solely on the very remote possibility that those are 3 or 4 Hart or Audax aircraft behind the main line-up......

Jenkins has it, it is RAF Upavon. Photo taken in 1938. Avro Tutors on the right, Harts in the centre and Airspeed Oxford on the left. More Tutors on the extreme left.

You have the con Jenkins

Well, my gues is that it is somewhere that either BY didn't fly often or it was their first visit, something like that? From the types of coaches I don't think it is a UK destination. So, would it be Chambery? My wild guess to kick off! I've been there but for the life of me I can't remember! RR

I'm sure that Deauville used to have a tower in the middles of the apron.
