Unknown RAF bomber base

Halifax’s. The small a/c is not a Proctor but more probably a Hurricane (fighter afiliation?)

Nice pic, the blow-up dosen’t help that much as the resolution has been lost, but looks like parked Halifaxs with a Lancaster (outer wing dihedral) on the runway.
The curved things in the immediate foreground are a group of three Nissan huts, the FIDO tanks appear to be the four large circular tanks halfway down the left hand side of the pic, that is their usual pattern anyway.

It’s definately Graveley and the same pic has been discussed here, http://www.airfieldinformationexchange.org/community/showthread.php?941-Graveley

Definitely Halifaxes, wing profile is wrong for a Lanc

Thanks for the blow-up difficult to tell,most of the aircraft have the square fins of the Halifax B.3 . The smaller plane has an elliptical wing possibly DH.93 Don ?

The plane on the runway looks like a Lanc to me. I’ll post the larger size for you.

The more I look at the picture you can see contractor work on the taxiways. The fuel trucks could be contractors sand/cement lorries. It looks like the possible upgrade to Pathfinder Force from 01 April 1944. Quite possible that there are Halifaxes and Lancasters in the photograph. I reckon the photo was taken early 1944 ?

No 35 Sqdn moved into Graveley August 1942 using Halifaxes until March 1944 when Lancasters took over. Note the small plane parked in the SE corner possibly a Proctor . The first use of FIDO at Graveley was on 19/20 November 1943 when 4 Halifaxes of No 35 Squadron landed using this system.

So that would make this photo taken prior to March 1944, when No. 35 Squadron converted to Lancasters, correct?

The eastern end of RAF Graveley, notice FIDO equipped,and No.35 Squadron Halifaxes dispersed. The village to the left is Graveley the tree area called Duck End. The storage tanks in the foreground are fuel tanks and note what appears to be a line of parked fuel trucks.

that wouldnt be an incredibly early Binbrook would it?
