Goose Green? That grass strip in the Falklands? Certainly not England, unless it's a USAF base. Damn you edited it before I pressed submit!!!

Not Goose Bay or Goose Green. Right side of the pond though.

For The SSK, Check thread #2690. I've posted a photo of Lisboa airport taken airside in 1962 showing the first TAP Caravelle on the apron. Note the new control tower has the old tower's rotating beacon. The older photo was from a postcard from which I cropped out 'Lisboa Airport'.
TAP operated DC-6s. The Turnhouse terminal building of the 1950s does not resemble the buildings in my photos of Lisbon. I can't speak for the double-decker bus except perhaps that it does appear to be driving on the right-hand side of the road. I do know Lisbon is noted for trams.

OK then; that guy under the intakes appears to be having a Gander at something.

Not Namao or Gander. There weren't many places the V bombers were allowed to go as they were considered such a valuable asset. This was a regular destination.

Correct. Headquaters of Strategic Air Command and a regualr V Bomber destination. This was taken by my dad in 1960. A Valiant crashed at Offut in 1961.

You have control.

Toronto, Terminal 1, circa 1962-3, with a TCA DC-8-40 and a Vickers Mudguard behind? Open house if correct.

Not in Mannheim, or Berlin-Tegel, but it is in Germany.
