Looks like it could be Farnborough. The tall building at the top on the right hand half looks like the old wind tunnel.

I'd go with Farnborough too, probably 1948 show from the participants list on farnborough spotters .com

Are you going to book him for dangerous flying, once you trace him, Peter?

It was probably 1950. In this clip, the black painted Lancaster (or Lincoln is it? *-) ), the silver Mosquito and the Tudor in the photo can all be seen:

Interesting the narrator's statement at 1:27. As true today as it was in 1950.

It's RAF Jurby on the Isle of Man. Airshow in the early 50s. Lincoln, Valletta and Mosquito behind.
