I'm unconvinced that it is Benson. Compare these images:

The CT on the subject photograph is well forward of the hangar line as indicated by the C Type behind it.

That photo has proved to be a difficult one to locate with 100% certainty.

In the meantime how about a location for this one? Originally a photo of the hutting, labelled Hertford Hutting but with a fort type watch office in the background avec tomato growing appendage.

Re the Hunters and C Type hangars - how about Odiham?

The runway headings don't match the '25' displayed on the CT runway in use board Tim.

Ah yes. True Peter true..So much else seemed to fit quite well especially the CT and the hangar line, and the hills and even the background buildings.I'll keep trying. I like a challenge.

The centre of the three Odiham hangars is set well back from the other two whereas in the OP photograph the two visible hangars appear to be in line (part of a shallow crescent of three or four?)

Also, I look at the structure on the left margin of the image in front of the lead aircraft's nose. It appears to be a fuel tanker shed. At Odiham the 25 yard range is located in that area.

I'm sure that it will turn out to be one of the airfields already suggested.
