Where is this?

My dad's cine footage which I've transferred and uploaded. Where is the airshow during the first three minutes?

First stab before anyone else gets in - Duxford?

At first there seemed a strong naval presence so I thought RNAS Yeovilton but the countryside and hangars seem quite Duxford.

RNAS Yeovilton is my guess.

I think Yeovilton is probably right as we holidayed around Gillingham in Dorset, and at the New Forest.

There's more footage about 27 minutes in.

Definately RNAS Yeovilton.....late 1970's by the look of it.

Yeovilton. The Concorde registration is 'G-BSST'.

Google leads us here: www.concorde-art-world.com/html/g-bsst.html which says "1976 - Mar 4. Delivered to its final resting place at Yeovilton air museum."

Thanks all. For bonus points, I think the main car is a Humber Hawk, or a Super Snipe, but what's the smaller car?

Interesting footage. All those exhibits (including Concorde) are all stored inside now.
I was there last Summer.

That's why I said late 1970's, as that's exactly how Yeovilton looked like when I first went there in 1978/79 ish.

Quick, someone get Garlick, there is some real footage of a campervan at 25mins or so...

A bloody weird one if that's the steering wheel stuck to the back window.
