You are in the right area John Walker. You might have passed the residence a few years ago on a flying visit. Nothing to do with Holiday Camp.

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.
