For me the best thing about this photo is the frying pan...Yeovil it is, as suspected but now nice to have better confirmation. We'll update the catalogue and post the new data here in due course.

This is most likely to be Westlands Helicopters airfield at Yeovil, Somerset.They built the S51 under licence.

Image EAW011931 shows part of what I'm sure is the Welkin, a development of the Whirlwind fighter/bomber.
