I think that was fairly normal for that pre expansion era though Peter.

Looks like the ground is being prepared for some C hangars aswel, could it be early Mildenhall?

It certainly is Mildenhall, photo taken in 1934. Well done MM.

The clue was relating the the Comet, which won the air race to Melbourne in 1934 having taken off from Mildenhall!

Pretty sure that's Grafton Underwood. Open house if that's correct.

Take a look at other 'Expansion' stations; you will see that the hangar arc is concave to the landing ground so Mildenhall is 'different. A good recognition point.
