The field location is mentioned in a few newspaper reports of the accident – namely in the Folkestone, Hythe, Sandgate & Cheriton Herald and also I found a earlier article which just mentions the company briefly saying that were operating from the same field
The source for the other two Avro 504K is google books Janes All the Worlds Aircraft 1930
