Photo is from Hunting Aircraft Ltd.

I am not sure when the photo was taken as it is not dated on the reverse, however the ref 'PY8363' is on the back.

Closest aircraft is XM421, second closest is XM414 and the next one is XM415

I was thinking Valley but have no way of proving it from work

I've got a feeling it's Syerston. GE seems to fit. I'm sure JP's used to fly out of there in the 60's. I used to live just the other side of the Trent at Lambley and remember seeing JP's flying over as a kid.
Memories........... I've forgotten what they are !!

Have to agree - Syerston. Was it 2 FTS with the JPs?

Syerston is very likely, defo not Valley, wrong background.
When you mentioned it was a Hunting pic, I immediately thought of their factory airfield at Luton, but the JPs have the unit markings applied.

Quick look on good 'ol GE, looks like the photo was taken from the control tower, at Syerston.

Huntings did use Bovingdon as Luton never had customs at this point in time whereas Bovingdon which is local to Luton did. They had their own sales offices there too. Not necessary saying that this print was taken there though.

Not sure what the hump is ? but if you follow the line across to it on GE, you can see where it was, maybe it was the infamous giant RAF potato clamp !!! :-D

Sorry, where is the hump? in which photo? Do you mean in the original photo (2 o'clock to the JP parked in the distance/background)?
Sorry if I'm being slow. This area doesn't appear to be in the second photo.
