Not Andover, at the time this photograph was taken the aerodrome was not a Military Airfield.

I'll try Waddington since the hangars fit but the dates don't!

Farnborough?

Speedpig 20th Nov 2007 12:24

A long shot. Lympne Airfield.

Mel,

I never thought I would be using my day-job skills in this forum, but the terrain in your second photo looks like typical "chalk country", which if I'm correct would narrow your airfield down to the following areas: East Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Cambs., Bedford., Bucks., Berks., Salisbury Plain, North Downs, South Downs.

In desperation, how about Arbroath!
