Not Stockholm. The aerodrome is located in the southern hemisphere. Here is the ground-side view.

evansb's challenge
Sorry Tiger_mate, it is not Adelaide. I posted Adelaide on July 19th, thread #165. The mystery aerodrome is not in South Australia, or Queensland. The building was the main terminal and control tower from 1941 to 1956 and the design became the standard for the day, with similar ones being built in Parafield and Archerfield.

A Std design would suggest a govt owned building, so going for major towns of Northern Australia, DARWIN?

Not in the Northern Territory. When I said it wasn't in South Australia, I meant the Territory of South Australia. A portion of the building is still in use today.

That phrase should be banned from these pages

The aircraft is a C47a leased from BOAC, and one of 72 operated by BEA throughout the UK and Europe. The mainland routes are above, and I do not think that the picture is of the DC3 base at Northolt.

European mainland still gets my vote, but which country?
