twochai,

Sometimes WAGs are spot on.

Tjililitan Airport in Batavia/Djakarta in the 1930s. Subsequently renamed Halim Perdanakusuma (HLP), it continued as Jakarta's International Airport until 1985 when Soekarno-Hatta (CGK) opened. Still operational but I think the wonderful terminal building is long gone.

I presume the B on the license plate is for Batavia and it is still used today.

You have control.

Edited to add that Halim was where BA9, the Galunggung Glider landed, after its ash encounter.
