Yes 90’s. What I meant is not the biplane era!

Neither Benson, Abingdon or Goodwood.

Not Thames Valley.

UV 23rd Aug 2021 15:41

To summarise:

Chevron is “warm” with fighter station

Beamr is correct with a 90’s photo

As can be seen the aerodrome hosted some popular Airshows

North Weald?

Not North Weald....

West Malling I think.

OH if correct.

UV 24th Aug 2021 12:42

Hurrah! It is West Maling. The photo was taken at the 1990 Great Warbirds Airshow.

Here is a similar pic taken at the last airshow in 1991, before the developers “ improved” the area.

The runway is just below the bottom of both pics

OH called

Looks like two identical hangars to the one in the middle of the West Malling pic above?

In some sort use at the time the pic was taken...lights on? Even though overgrown by trees.

So UK? East Anglia? And finally, is this all that is left of the airfield or can more be seen?

OUAQUKGF Ops 26th Aug 2021 06:28

It is in the UK. More will be revealed in due course - a Dance of The Seven (or more) Hangar Doors............
