Duxford 1930's? or not?

Remember it doesn’t have to be a home base. Squadrons would travel to other places and the Empire Air Days would see all sorts of things at all sorts of places.

Thanks for all your comments, unfortunately I am still no wiser.

The picture must have been taken between 1932 – 1935 as this is the period the fury and Bulldog were operated by these squadrons.

1 S was at Tangmere – did not have Belfast hangars.

25 S was at Hawkinge, which did have Belfast hangars.

29 S was at Duxford.

So could this be a picture of Hawkinge?

Possibly Henlow looking at the skyline.

Old Sarum?

Doesn’t look like Old Sarum’s hill top location either to me.

The Fairey Long Range Monoplane, on right, made its record-breaking flight to India from Cranwell in 1929. (A world record for flying in a straight line – 4130 miles in 50 hours – now that must have been boring!)

Could it be Cranwell perhaps?

Old Sarum?

Wrong doors,

do`nt think its fowlmere either
fowlmere is on top of a slight hill and looking that direction would be down toward the old cress beds.

I did read somewhere that Fowlmere was built to the same layout as Duxford and that a photo of Fowlmere taken from the air was often misidentified as being Duxford.
Could this then be Fowlmere?.

Hi Glen 🙂 I don’t think it is Duxford, sorry…if this was Duxford, whoever took this photograph would have been facing north west to do so, and the skyline to the north west (behind the hangars) is lower and flatter than that.

But I could be wrong 😀
