Just out of interest, where do these obliques of airfields under construction originate?

The RCAHMS collection has a number of obliques online
tara.rcahms.gov.uk
most here seem to be 1941/2 and probably cover construction, although I haven't checked. NMR also holds loads of obliques, again covering construction I would have thought. I have also sen some either in the RAFM or IWM collections.
Back to the quiz - this one includes an aircraft (see also inset) - which reminds me of a Welkin.
I suspect this might be quite hard.

Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite

So do I - and promise not to reveal our recent conversation. No doubt it is worth putting in the correct place once someone has located it.I suspect this might be quite hard.

Sorry PNK, what I meant is, why and for whom were they taken for in the first place?

I know some were taken for checking camouflage but that can't be the case here. I suspect a lot were taken a "targets" for recon practice.
