I doubt it. That RAF base's singe runway has an X in the middle and cars
parked in the overrun area.

Might be an airshow, with the Lanc coming around for a low pass. Would explain
all the cars parked around the field, but there isn't anybody AROUND the
cars...nor are there any airplanes visible on the field itself.

Google Earth IDs the field as "RAF Brampton Wyton Henlow". Sounds like a
non-flying base, except for motor gliders:

How do you impute coordinates directly to google? I got there, according to
the pointer, but it was the middle of the field, with nothing there.
