What is the event that the NAM Chipmunk is attending?

Well, RAFM Hurricane P2617 wore the scheme “AF-T” with a pale spinner around this time (before repaint into its current scheme) so that would fit…

I wonder if it is something to do with the opening of the RAF Museum or at least some event at Hendon? The towers in the background look not unlike the Hendon Police College. The RAF Museum opened in 1972 and the police college in ’74. At that time what was left of the airfield extended well out towards the site of the college.
The Hurricane was with 71 MU at Bicester before going to RAFM. They also had Sycamore XG540 in yellow finish as a ‘travelling exhibit’ so maybe it behind the Hurricane.
