Emsworth is about 2 miles N of Thorney Island - not that it really proves anything.

Tangemere has this type of hanger


HangAR!
St Athan also had 10 or so of these low Bellmans, actually looks like the current VGS hangar, very similar view and tarmac pattern.

Apologies for the Hangar spelling error! :roll:
i am now convinced that the 2 pictures are indeed nothing to do with one another, the era is the same, probably the same year but they are unrelated, st.Athan would be likely, due to the proximity of Porthcawl, but it would be nice to have a definite result. cheers
