Could well be West Malling ?

I would agree with West Malling. I assume the dumbbell had been murdered as there are two evidence markers in the foreground.

I don't have an answer and haven't (yet) tried to find out so cannot confirm your suggestions.

Kirton in Lindsey looks like a contender:

It looks more like a 'J' type hangar in the background.

I agree that the background hangar roofline does not appear to match.

Coningsby looks to be better with 'J' Type hangars

Too close to the coast for St Merryn.
