Thanks LFT. I believe many of those C130s were being stored prior to delivery to the RAAF.
Here is the next one, back in time again but I am sure this will be no problem

Like many of the airfield operational in the 1930s it has since closed.

Thanks Mel. The photo below shows how things developed over the years, although nearly all gone now.




Please accept my apologies for having nothing to offer at present, I was reticent to post for that reason.
I don't wish to hold things up, so Open House.

One I know well, without having to look it up. Dallas Love Field, with downtown Dallas in the distance and the Trinity River cutting through the middle of the picture.

There's a nice Museum of Flight in the terminal building.
