I was thinking Filton as the Sector station, thought Colerne was one but haven't got any sources for sector stations to hand to check.
My only thought is that the grass airfield it is postwar civil only.

We obviously are not too good on Sector stations. I have looked at most airfields from Wiltshire to Lands End and come up with nothing obvious. Most of the ones I thought of had perimeter tracks. I Haven't given up yet, after a bottle of Poachers tonight I might come up with the answer.
I am still of the opinion it's civil though.

Looking at the picture - if the view is NE - that puts the hard runway almost to the east or ENE of the grass field - about 12 or 15 fields away - so no more than approx 3 -4 miles max. Road is running (more or less ) E-W. There appears to be a large roundabout just to the North of the field.
I've been all over my concept of the Southwest and can't find anywhere that fits with all this plus a Sector station.....has the Southwest slipped a little?
