Battle of Britain Colour footage - Dig1940

After watching an episode of Dig1940 last night I was intrigued to know if anyone knows where the colour home movie taken by William Henry Rhodes-Moorhouse was filmed?

The Hurricanes, which maybe early model Mk1's, are from 601 Sqn (County of London). They have the black underneath port wing and yellow ringed roundel. The "A" on both leading edges is interesting (A flight?) as is the sword through a pair of wings emblem painted in red below the prop.

The Squadron converted to Hurricanes in March 1940 and were based at Merville, Saint-Valery-en-Caux, Middle Wallop and Tangmere during this time.

Dick Demetriadi who was killed in action on 11th August was in the footage so it presumably pre-dates this. Could it be France? Any guesses as to the the a/c in the background, my guess is an Armstrong Whitworth Ensign.

Apologies for the poor quality of images as they were taken off a tv screen on a mobile phone!
