I was at Negombo/Katunayake 1957 and took these photos there. Far side of the runway was notable for the coconut palm plantations.
These were taken looking across the runway from the ATC dispersal area.
What a wonderful line-up:
TWA Connie
RAF Comet
2 x Valiants
2 x Shacks
Hastings
Valetta
and a RCYAF Dove - I think!
