The SSK, that photo was of the arrival here in Norwich of two herons bought by Progressive Airways from Falk Air of Denmark in 1969 / 1970 They added to existing fleet of doves, later started training with viscounts but the whole thing collapsed .... along came Air Anglia .... and the rest is even more history now.

The former NAS Grosse lle, Michigan.

Over 1800 British 'aviation cadets' trained there in WWII. This may be of interest: http://www.nasgi.org/raf.htm

As a local resident, I can assure you that it isn't Washington National Airport. KDCA was the subject of the very first challenge in this thread. Go back to message number 1 in the thread to see it.

(Reagan was still a Democrat and film actor back when that picture was taken.)

Those planes at the lower left don't look like US airliners to me. Maybe B-24?

DCA was opened in 1941. The aircraft on the ramp look like C-47's and B-24's, if I'm not mistaken.

Sorry, not Washington National. Those are B-24s and C-47s though.
