Yep.
And with that amount of serious damage, and probably dead and or injured on board, the first available airfield, preferably with a long, wide runway would be a priority.
The Emergency Landing Grounds, such as Woodbridge and Carnaby, were just inland from the coast, and had extra-wide, long runways, and were fully equipped to receive damaged aircraft with casualties on board.
The pic might have been taken at a USAAF base, with visiting RAF personnel, although the latter tended to be aircrew, but I feel it's at a RAF airfield, very possibly an ELG.
