Harry wins again. The earliest incarnation of what is now Vancouver International Airport CYVR.

Here's a photo taken from the roof of the terminal (grand opening?):


What is that tri-motor biplane?

and an aerial view:

The hangars and the distinctively shaped roads are still there, but the terminal is long gone, replaced by a parking lot. Vandals!


Here's a later aerial view, possible wartime:


The small channel on the Fraser River no longer exists and the two runways are also gone, but the remnants are visible on GE. The present day airport covers nearly all of the fields in the background. Many years ago, I did my floatplane rating here.

Over to you, Harry.
