Long Beach CA - the Flying Tigers start-up fleet of Budd C-93 Conestogas, not the prettiest aeroplane ever built.
Edit: likely to be incommunicado for several hours so if I'm correct I'll waive my go and jump in next time there's a free slot.

The SSK is correct
The airport and the aircraft were correctly identified. Well done
. As stated, it is open house.

I'll add that its the right country though. Photo from an airshow in 1954.
Looking on Google Earth, whilst the airport has been much developed since, the buildings still seem to be there although not necessarily the same size, with the exception of the disappearence of tower on the corner of the hangar.

Yes, it's Coventry, pic borrowed from this utterly fascinating website about a fascinating airport.
