Fairey Battles on an AASF Airfield on the Western Front - Autumn 1939

I found these photographs of Fairey Battles dispersed on an airfield on the Western Front in autumn 1939 in The War Illustrated, 4 November 1939.  Although the airfield is not identified, the pictures will have been taken on one of the AASF airfields that the 53rd HAA Regiment were tasked with defending.  Perhaps it is an airfield that the 157th HAA Battery was defending and although I will never know, there is a good chance, as the Battles were based at the airfields where their guns were dug in.

"Brushwood is extensively used for camouflage purposes at the aerodrome on the Western Front. Above can be seen the way in which a screen is built up in front of the machine when it has finished its day's work."

"The round photograph gives a close-up view of the zigzag steel network which is laid on the runways of an aerodrome.  its purposes is to prevent the wheels sinking into the mud when the machine is taking off.  Grass is allowed to grow over it so that it cannot be detected from the air. The main picture shows an example of complete camouflage. An aeroplane has its tail in a copse, and brushwood has been placed in front of it."
