Thank you, Flaps40. The A.A. Tower was the clincher, together with the 85 (I believe) Sqdn. Javelins.
Open House, Gentlemen.

Sorry not in the Channel Islands, or Northolt. Another clue, the last job I did, before this photo was taken, was to "line up" all the props, didn't I do well ? Keith.

I am so sorry, both of those last answers sound so credible, and intelligent, but not quite correct, I feel I should give you more help, but it is so easy ? Keith.

Duckbutt is correct. Well done RCAF Station Bagotville in La Baie, Quebec, was opened in July of 1942 and provided OTU to BCATP aircrew.
The base is still active and is home to 425 Tactical Fighter Squadron, 429 Combat Support Squadron (search and rescue), 3 Air Maintenance Squadron, and 12 Radar Squadron. Over to you.
