Hi Noel its a real head scratcher been looking at 25 sqn history, Hornchurch was never one of their bases so they were either using it as a satalite or forward base etc.
on the right is a guy carrying what looks like an over coat, yet the 2 mystery men have daft hats. no blackout masks on the cars, no attempt to hide the trailer no criss cross tape on the windows, ?? turning to the 2 strange men they have a uniform of overalls with a pocket at each breast, these pockets have silver buttons, the ankle of the trouser is gathered in but they only appear to have shoes on. on each of THIER right breasts just below the pocket is an emblem or badge ?/

Some of Charles Brown's work is published in a series of books Cameras above the clouds 4 volumes selling for big bucks may be the picture is in there.

Noel just had a look at the Artique gallery website Charles Brown album there is a piccy of a MK1 Blenhiem being refuelled . Again Hornchurch the bowser is in plain colour open headlights but has the same lumps of grass as the trailer. the tile say Hornchurch 1939; so my money stays on a Home Defence exercise pre hostilities 1939
