Hawker Fury Squadron Identity

Have just watched a marvelous 1935 film on the RAF. Featured were Furies with close-ups of K2053, 2059, 2070, 2076 and 2079 (Hope I didn’t mess these up). Think 2070 was the Squadron Leader’s machine. Can anyone provide the squadron’s identity and base?

Mustang 51 – I have bumped the thread about this film so it is on the front page.
Vampire Dave kindly posted some info on the 25sqn aerobatic Furies.

Certainly looks like it to me. Those machines are so beautiful…… you can almost hear them

Apparently 25 Squadron?

As per http://www.aviationphotocompany.com/p538738128/h4D0F9381#h4d0f9381

As far as I can tell they were at Hawkinge but this is far from a racing cert with my dodgy research skills……..confirmation anybody?
