| ?Town here. This is reminiscent of Honiton to me ... Not too far to fly from Yeovil/Yeovilton to Honiton. |

Does this help. Substitute the town for Sherborne. The terrain features can be found to the north east of Nether Compton! So looking east with image taken due east of Yeovil. |

If this flight went from Yeovil, I wonder if these are the Blackdown Hills? |
