Which Aerodrome Mk IV
The Oman pics are taken from exactly the same place more or less - and it's amazing how fast it changed!
The first hangar built at Farnborough was the Army Air Corps hangar at Jersey Brow built in the early '60s; prior to that all covered aircraft accomodation including that for airships was called 'Sheds'.
There are only 3 'Sheds' left at Farnborough now; N Shed and D Shed on west 1 Apron and K Shed aka the 'Black Shed' (there were originally 2 but one was demolished) at the eastern end of the airfield.

Well Farnborough it isn't. However I'm sure that if you look carefully at the photograph you will find a few sheds, a hangar or two including those for Pigs Who Fly.

Hoping to down his 1000th Bratwurst this morgen.

East Anglia?
Well done ea200. Felthorpe, Norfolk it is. Also thnarg who resisted the temptation to open the gate. Many thanks to Felthorpe Aero Club/Flying Group from whose site I borrowed the images of The Tiger Moth and the results of the arson attack on the Hangar in 2003 when nine beautiful, cherished aeroplanes were lost, also the thumbnail of the crashed Trident. Until recently and it still may be there, the airfield was home to a splendid, newly built replica Fokker Triplane.

ea200 over to you................

You don’t have to give away everything but that photo is so pixelated/blurred that I cannot see if it are 2 cows from behind, two horses from the front or 2 elephants with their ears against their head.
Or two road workers in red work clothing.

They are of course none of those. They are actually people in costume and if I didn't know I wouldn't have a clue from behind either. There are other people in shot with more conventional attire.
