Wouldn't be Filton or Bracebridge Heath would it.

Could be, I was told it was Upwood when it was given to the Archive but I have my doubts.

If it is Upwood it might be this building then?

I think PNK is right, the other buildings would support the view being from the left (assuming West!) of the plan looking and at the span of the sheds. You can see the long shed to the right, a smaller one to the left and the farm would be obscured by the triple GS.
Did Upwood have a Triple Service Shed?

Edit: In fact I reckon the pic is taken from the sharp bend of the road

Yep. On looking agian I think the sharp corner is the photo point as MM says. It explains the farm not being in view and maybe the disturbance in the foreground of the photo is one of the buildings (black rectangles) in the map?

the Cambs archive has it listed as Upwood

1935 to 1939 - Upwood. Building of Upwood airfield. Original first world war airfield demolished at end of War I

But as REf says was it logged correctly?

The hangars in the first pic on page 2 of the following link don't match the one Richard posted.

echo, thats what I asked in post#5!
We do really need to find this out, if it did have a triple GS I would be sure that it is Upwood as surounding buildings and angles are right.
If it didn't... then well... it's not!
