There are at least 4 rugby fields as well as the football field in view.

Possible church tower. This looks like a big Estate from an odd angle....

Is this light patch a body of water like a lake or even the sea?

Hi Rebecca,
I think it's most likely open ground behind those trees, possibly even parkland assosicated with the house back there.

Shadow from windsock directly in line with image, sun quite high so presume looking North

Hi TomRobin, I would agree this is looking north-ish. Unfortunately I still haven't seen any other images that look at all like this place.

The sportsfield has Rugby, cricket and football pitches, plus the grandstand, so maybe school grounds

Dear all,
This one really is a puzzler. I see exactly where you are going with the Westley suggestion, JayGee, but unfortunately I can't quite make it work. Whilst the road-railway line alignment is good, I can't make the field boundaries fit either side of the road. And by the time this photo was taken in 1928, some houses had been built on the north side of the road which should show in the image if it was Westley.
Dave43 - the date is good for this image. Although Alan Cobham's "Flying Circus" is well-known, there were other, smaller, companies doing similar things in the 1920s and local aero clubs also arranging shows and trips. Perhaps this image shows one of these?
The original Aerofilms Ltd Register entry says "Harrogate". Does anyone have an alternative suggestion?
Yours, Katy

I think this could be the field that became Westley Airfield in the 1930s; a flying club and municipal airfield for Bury St. Edmunds.
The converging road (Newmarket Road) and railway fit the photo. The hedgeline that crosses the road rings a bell from old maps I've seen.
That would make the buildings in the centre beyond the railway the golf club. I don't know what the long building on the right is but I've seen a photo of that area in the 1960s and I'm pretty sure there was a building like that. I can't explain the big light coloured building top left - that would be the village of Risby.

I dunno about 1928, how accurate are these dates? but Sir alan Cobham arranged his "Flying Circus" called "National Aviation Days" (to popularise flying) from April to October from 1932 to 1936 visiting 170 towns and villages and giving 12,050 displays, so quite an organisation. His book "A Time To Fly" apparently lists the places he visited.

There appears to be a rugby pitch with a stand and to the right is the football pitch. The long building could be changing facilities for these two. The plane is about where the Army had married quarters after WW2. Certainly it is the west exit from Bury St Edmunds

In this picture you are looking across the railway line to the east of where I think the above photo was taken. (This is the Vinten factory being built in Western Way). It was taken in 1964 but doesn't that long-thin building look like the one on the right of the older photo? Though I am a little worried by the old-looking building to its left which is not there in the older shot. Could it be that the farm had two such long buildings?

I'm not very good at this and I'm not sure anyone reads these but could it be Hawthorn Hill near Bray and Bracknell Berks? I remeber the Grandstand was still there in the 60's but unused since 1939
dydd Mercher 18th Gorffennaf

The picture is 1928 and Hawthorn Hill was in full swing and that is not the stand (of which I have a number of pictures)It is unlikely to be a racecourse at all, I believe.
dydd Mawrth 7th Awst
9:26yp
No it's a golf course now, all traces more or less gone
dydd Iau 19th Gorffennaf

Can you use Google Maps, switch to Satellite mode and verify whether the Grandstand is still there please (sorry, I don't know the area) ?
dydd Iau 19th Gorffennaf

Railway or Canal (looks too straight to be natural) ?

Shadows indicate sun high in sky and photo taken from south / south-east.

For benefit of non-flyers, looks like G-EBOB about to start take-off run (into wind).

Why would they build what looks like a temporary screen when the action would be up in the air? Maybe to just block the view of the planes on the ground? If you want to see them on the ground you have to pay and get in through the gate?

I'm fairly sure this is a Flying Circus. They toured the country giving flying displays. (Alan) Cobham's Flying Circus was one such outfit, although this photo is too early for it to be him.
