That's the conclusion myself and a colleague have also come to. The aircraft behind the C-54 is probably Falcon 20 N111AC which visited twice while the C-54 was present (26/6-1/7/68). Hangars 7/8 and 61 had blue doors. Hangar 60 I believe was always grey. The 1-11 tail looks like Autair but where is it? It could have been taxying out but seems too far away, and where is hangar 62? The last lighting pylon on the north side was between hangars 61 and 62, so the latter should be there to the left of the C-54.
I'm starting to think the photo may have been edited to remove obvious Luton features like hangar 62 with "Autair" on it then post it as "Leeds 1968". Apologies to whoever if I'm jumping to conclusions.
