Turns out we've had this before, in 2008. Looks like this aerodrome was renamed Aston Down in 1938...:(

Still.... its a great photo, thanks for posting it.

Noyade 18th Nov 2011 20:20

Not a problem. They're SE5a aircraft of No.6 (Training) Squadron at AFC airfield of Minchinghampton. That was the intended challenge name I was after, but google says it was later called Aston Down. The Australian War Memorial dates the photo as 1919 but here it's 1917...?...

Cotswold Gliding Club

Back to Open House.

Looks very rural.

England ?

sabredog 20th Nov 2011 16:24

Very much so,Mr. Grubby. In fact, one might say the Garden of England!

spook 20th Nov 2011 16:36

...in which case home of the then Kent Flying Club..In the middle of nowhere there is Aerodrome Rd, De Havillands and Lysander Close. Bekesbourne, RFC & RAF Aerodrome?

sabredog 20th Nov 2011 21:34

Correct,Spook, in every detail.
You have control.

spook 20th Nov 2011 22:03

Thank you Sabredog. I'm afraid it's going to have to be Open House.

Apologies, a slightly fraudulent entry here inasmuch as I haven't a clue where this is, or the year or whether that really could be a shedload of Shackletons in the foreground . . . . but it's possibly a few minutes' entertainment for someone and I have an acquaintance very keen to find out as well!

India Four Two 22nd Nov 2011 04:12

Lajes, Azores. Those "Shacks" are probably B-24s.

OH if correct.

TheChitterneFlyer 22nd Nov 2011 06:22

I'd agree with India Four Two... Shackleton's were frequent visitors to Lajes but probably not in such large numbers!
