We know that it is an English Electric Wren which is still flying at Shuttleworth.

They look like royal navy wessex and are they Gnats parked next to the line up, if they are navy wessex it could be a RNAS Prestwick, Yeovilton, Culdrose, etc, amongst others,
only a guess though. somebody will come along a find it without doubt.

Farnborough, 5-11 September 1966
Wessex of 707 and 845 Squadrons; Red Arrows Gnats

Farnborough would be my guess too, I think the hangar is still there

It's an aircraft shed, not a hangar; it's called 'A' Shed and is still in use by GAMA Engineering and by another operation I could tell you about but if I did I'd have to kill you.
'K,' 'N' and 'D' Sheds are the only other aircraft sheds left, TAG having demolished 'M', 'L' and 'C' sheds.
'Q' shed (used by Marine 1, 2 and 3 during Clinton's vistis) was demolished to build the Flight Safety International building and 'H' shed, a T1 on the south side which housed the E 28/39s and early Meteors, was demolished (in spite of my protests about its historic significance and suggesting it be listed) about 12 years ago.

A Shed was demolished about 2 years ago.
