Airfield Identification please

With the past successes I have to keep the "lucky ball" rolling. At the start of the film The Hypnotist (1957) the central character, a test pilot, heads towards his plane. It is a Royal Navy Hawker Hunter. It has "701" on the nose but the aircraft marking, which is difficult to read appears to be WF 702. The fact that it is a Royal Navy plane will hopefully narrow the options, the initial clear shot of the background building and perhaps that there are at least two similar building as it takes off might help identify the airfield. As always, I am so impressed with all your knowledge, hopefully you can help me on this one as well.

Thanks Paul, there is certainly a distinct similarity to one of the buildings on Ford Airfield section, especially the roof lights if that is what they were/are. Was there a set War Dept. design or did they vary according to area?

I thinks it's a Sea Hawk rather than a Hunter

Thanks, I knew it was dangerous for me to be specific amongst all you experts! I see on a forum elsewhere that Ford was used by the Fleet Air Arm so maybe it is.

That's' certainly a Sea Hawk, but it's tail number can't have been WF 702 as that would make it a meteor:

WF is probably a station code as these were sometimes on the fins. It is more likely to be a land based unit thae a disembarked one.

WF is part of the 'registration' not a station code. Haven't seen the film but the aircraft numbers don't match the registration...so the 701 worn on the nose (and tail) won't match the numeric part of the registration.

WF171 and WF174 were certainly based at RNAS Ford (I had a couple of airfix models of them back in the day).

The three SDs in TNA state Ford as having:

Seems some reconstruction took place postwar. including four substantial hardstandings (similar to the RAF's ASPs) which might feature in the above photo.
