Neither Hornchurch nor Tangmere, I am afraid, Mustpost, and not Hawker Furies.

Not R.A.F Henlow, but full marks for spotting the rather less than orthodox parade formation.

Obviously some sort of ceremonial then, so assuming they're Demons, Northolt??


add. would it be something like a Royal visit?

Not RAF Northolt. The Hawker family of Light Bombers all served at this aerodrome at one time or another during this period.

Not Mildenhall,mustpost. I cannot give too much away geographically,
but the station was associated with a city which had a long and ancient history!

Sorry,gentlemen. Not Hendon or Linton.
The station has a strong classical connection, and it's name might be considered to be one of disambiguation! Think further afield.

Not Sealand and not Digby, and to jabberwock, the answer is in the affirmative.
