I found this picture with same building to be Wildenrath?

@Self loading bear

But there seem to be hills on the left side of the B(I)8.
No hills at Wildenrath if I remember right ...

[Self loading bear]

I don’t know about hills.
Perhaps somebody else can shed light on that?
Also possible that a built company had an order to build several of those buildings on various sites.
Or that the caption on the Wildenrath picture is wrong.

I wuz gonna say Gib as it looks a bit llike the building the Rocks inhabited on the southern apron but there's no hill or bungalow with a chimney behind it at Gib.

You are quite correct. It is Gibraltar. Not the southern apron but the northern. The hills are miles away in Spain. Thanks for your suggestion. I had a trawl through Gibraltar images and was able to match up the building with the chimney (ringed in yellow).

Nice bit of detective work.

Course; I never thought of the RAF 'movements' building northside which is the same design as the 'Rocks' building.
So is the bungalow with chimney over the border in La Linea?

[treadigraph]

No it was on the Gib side - it's been demolished recently if you click out to map view...

One more B(I)8 of 16Sqn in 1967

That looks like another wet day at Finningley.

[DaveReidUK]

Hangars don't look like Finningley's.

Still has 5 hipped roof 'C' types, but was the tower in that position?

Finningley's Type Cs are an earlier variation (see the original Canberra photo in post #23) and the tower is on the opposite side of the runway from the hangars.

With a Hastings and a Varsity visible, what about Lindholme?

Yes, both tower and hangar fit.

Doesn't look like a display day, so maybe the ET 62 Noratlas was there for some other reason.

Thanks guys! Next pic may show an open day with a Canberra PR.7 of 31Sqn showing in the Static. Must be ca. end of 60s ...
