Sabredog is correct...two pics dated 26 March 1990, which I'm pretty sure was the last day of operation before being swept away for Toyota




Over to Sabredog

Given the state of the building (no broken windows etc) it must have only just closed. The car ties it to being 1984 or after so I think it might be Burnaston which closed in 1988.

.... must learn to type quicker!

A quick google on "Giraffe" and "Hangar" tells us that this is Blackpool Municipal Airport.

"And the rain puddles would serve to confirm that"...not to mention the piles of sh*t!

Stanley Park Aerodrome, now Blackpool Zoo. My pic about 15 years old, this site http://www.controltowers.co.uk/S/Stanley_Park.htm states it now to be the elephant house!
