Lasham perhaps?

Shackman - I follow your logic but I fear that it is not Lasham....

Luton Airport ?

Sorry Descol. Not Luton. Again I follow your logic too. I suppose the CL44 might be a bit of a diversion at the moment - perhaps it will become clearer in time ?

Private Air Strip Pre-War. Active Airfield, though never very busy, circa 1947-1967. What is thought to be surviving Pre-war hangar highlighted.

Are you absolutely certain that it’s not Lasham? There are pictures of a Redcoat CL-44 elsewhere on the internet that claim to be at Lasham in summer 1980 and visible in the background of your photo are a Dan-Air Ambassador and what looks to be an Avro York, both of which were at Lasham until they moved to Duxford in 1986. The 727 is also in an early 80’s colour scheme.

Flap40: I agree re Lasham but I suspect it's there just for a clue from the CL44 photo hence comment re being too big for the OP's airfield...

Closed 1967; Ramsgate?

Doubt it - its now a great big distribution complex - Dates fit Harpswell or Fambridge but neither look right

Just to check - we are in the UK?

British Isles.

Butlins Pwllheli?

Chevvron - Name of the Airfield Please....

Broom Hall?

Chevvron has it. The airfield is Broom Hall, Pwllheli. Billy Butlin bought the Broom Hall Estate after the war and reopened the airfield in 1947. I would think it was quite seasonal mostly with pleasure flying. Butlin used Fairchild Argus, Austers and Rapides. Early pleasure flying operators were Cambrian Airways and Dragon Airways - the latter became Starways of Liverpool who wrote off their Petrel P6 G-AFIX at Pwllheli without loss of life in 1949. A later pleasure flying operator was Chrisair with their Dragon.

Apologies, withdrew my challenge as away for a few days!
