Martin R, spot on at Page and Son.
The original hanger is still there and shown as Combined Frame Makers.

@CAT - to the nearest foot. Must have been a small building!
So about 500 yards SW of the centre of the airfield. Presumably where Page & Sons is at the sharp bend on Hopes Lane? The 1:10560 of 1947-1970 shows an oval building at that point with what looks to be an apron in front.

Indeed JW, the Ramsgate Airfield plans were for a larger complex and a lot more ground.WW2 got in the way and then investment was reduced.

Took a while as different angle than I recognised .
It is the Church behind the Ripple War Memorial near Deal.

Thanks Beachbum,
I wasn't sure if it was Ramsgate so just took a guess. On the plan, it shows two extensions at the rear but they don't appear in the photos.
Next one...

I can't get a precise fix on the building, but the airport was centered on:
TR 37 67
51°21'22"N, 001°24'37"E
according to the OS 1:10,500 map of 1949-1970
