Do you have any ideas which airfield this picture was taken at, Mark, please? Amongst the possible contenders I'm guessing RAF Fairford and RAF Little Rissington, both in Gloucestershire England and another possibility could, perhaps, be RAF Lynham, Wiltshire? There are a number of other possible airfields in Southern England where the picture may also have been taken.

Surprising that so many rifles still had stacking swivels, it was common practice to remove them to reduce rattle. Here's evidence in the museum at St. Mere Eglise... Attachment 82505Attachment 82504Attachment 82506 Photo credit Tom Campbell in the Summer 2014 GCA Journal
