Aboutface!
Chugalug2 has raised dormant memories of the small hangar at Hullavington. It was indeed an Aircraft Repair Shed, basically a small C-Type (as the sim/gym at Brize), and it was used in latter days by the Balloon Squadron. That piccy is NOT of the smaller hangar so I concede that this is indeed South Cerney.
The later piccy is Abingdon as there is only one of that type of hangar in the UK.

Well there you go. According to Wiki the snatch technique was used post D day for casevac and also casualty rescue after crashes in remote locations.
