Film location 'The Hypnotist' (1957)

I’m attempting to identify this location from the film ‘The Hypnotist’ which was released in July 1957. I think it’s the same plane in all three shots but I’m not really certain.

Many thanks for your suggestions and R6915 you are quite correct in spotting Paul Carpenter.

I thought Ford too. Seahawks galore there in the 50’s. But would not Dunsfold be more likely since it was Hawkers airfield?

I would agree the defunct Fleet Air Arm base at FORD seems possible – because aside from the FAA aircraft connection the blurred range of hills in the background could be the South Downs. Come to that maybe Tangmere about 6 miles from Ford and could Thorney Island also be a (unlikely) possibility at that time?

The lead actor as the ‘Test Pilot’ seems to be Canadian born actor Paul Carpenter who was often appearing UK lower budget films in the 50’s and 60’s. But I’m sure someone will correct me on that and other details!

A Hawker Seahawk. Yeovilton?
