Miscaptioned in the USAF Historic Photo Archive as Ridgewell, which Expansion-era airfield is this?

Yes, definitely Stradishall. A little bit of pouring over Flash Earth and your photo Paul, reveals a good landscape giveaway. The photo is orientated to the east (roughly - north is to the left of the shot); if you look to the right of the NE/SW r/w extension, at the top-left of the photo, to its immediate right there is a distinctive hedge line with a kink in it. It can be clearly seen on Flash Earth here ," to the right of this screen.

Hope this helps.

Thanks chaps,

Stradishall's layout and hangar arrangement would seem to fit the bill nicely.
I couldn't get hold of my vertical photo to compare earlier, but here it is:

Nice to see the Horsa gliders parked up there too.

All the best,
