An odd collection; York, Lanc; then is that the fin of a glider above the Lanc's No 1 engine?; next a C-47 or Dakota; possibly a Stirling beyond the Dak?

The number of bodies suggests a show or a demo of some sort?

edit: the odd fin is the right shape for a Horsa.

Wild stab; Beaulieu?

There are two outfits in the picture. One of them had Sterlings..

Photograph taken 1945/46.

You are close with Beaulieu.

OK; a small step West to Holmsley South?

You were slightly closer with Beaulieu.

Stoney Cross?

Hard luck kenparry, as is often the case on the thread.

Well done; I had been looking, fruitlessly, for a field with the apron as shown. dook, can you tell us what the occasion was?

46 Squadron Stirling of course, and it appears to be Sports Day. Sorry, I crossed ref. the question.

I don't know what the occasion was, but it might have been associated with a sports day.

Open House

An incorrect assumption.

It seems to me that the trees on the airfield have been intentionally planted so perhaps we're looking at tree farming.
