The original negative was one of a set of over 300 found at a flea market. Most are of aircraft and personnel. There are three or four aerial shots. The whole set is posted on Flickr.
Recently a Flickr member identified this black and white aerial negative as being Bassingbourn Air Force Base near Kneesworth on A1198 in the UK. With a little stretching and twisting the profile is still there today as seen in a recent satellite shot.
The Profile (more than you really wanted to know) is here.
Yep. It's in the lower right corner near the end of the vid. To quote Wiki;
Bassingbourn cum Kneesworth is a civil parish in the South Cambridgeshire district of Cambridgeshire, England. Since the 1960s the parish contains the village of Bassingbourn and hamlet of Kneesworth and is situated just north of Royston in Hertfordshire. The parish is astride the A1198 (formerly the A14 and Ermine Street), and the Icknield Way (cum Ashwell Street).

Hope that clears things up.
