Are these three groups initials of the organisation? Which order? Whats the squareish character?

Letters was my first thought, but they could be groups under instruction, there seems to be one or two figures the rest sre gouped around. My guess is it's a ground training establishment for the RAF. There's a patially dismantled halifax minus wings, but no apparent maintenance hangars. There are also a number of squads on the parade ground, again suggesting a basic training unit?

Next photo in sequence shows an airfield adjacent to this site. So this is the domestic site for a grass airfield, technical site at opposite side of airfield.

Are these (and several more groups) bombs? (Just post WWII).

No. They're square bashing. I realised this on another of the series, before I came to the one that said this. Series runs from eaw001925 to eaw001931.

Yatesbury Camp; I'm so pleased to find that we have some good cover of this site after all.
