Which Aerodrome Mk II
It's the film set for that film with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel.(don't remember the name but she's 'seeing' Kurt Russell and they're both working in an aircraft factory while hubbie Ed Harris is away at the war)

Could it be the SBD production line at the Northrop Douglas Plant at El Segundo, California.
Note that these are not SBD Dauntless'. Also, check the completion dates - I think Northrop's relationship with Douglas at El Segundo ended in 1937.

Nope, they're not "Vultee Vibrators" either.
But you are much closer than before (Inglewood, that is - Downey is a different place, and just a bit further away).
BTW, El Segundo is also known locally as "El Segundo, where the sewer meets the sea."

Yup Hawthorne I reckon.
El Segundo The tide brings it south past the refinery to Redondo Beach, wanna get a good dose of PCBs, Salmonela etc., go there, I did and nearly
got the whole set I didn't get in Nigeria. Though you can get a good pint of Nigerian Lager in Hennessey's on Catalina

Ding ! Correct !
It's Hawthorne, KHHR, also known as Jack Northrop Field. The airplanes under construction are N3PB patrol bombers destined for the Norwegian Naval Air Force.
Here's an N3PB during sea trials: (I know it's against the rules, but can anyone hazard a guess as to what "aerodrome" is featured in the picture?).
Otherwise Clint, over to you !

So a reappearance of a picture that I posted a couple of weeks ago and completely screwed up by leading people astray. Sorry again guys.
This is not in the Southern Hemisphere and nowwhere near a volcano as I posted before. I was having a senior moment. It comes to us all !!

As it's a test flight I might suggest it is Lake Elsinore, California.
Just a thought

merlinxx, Hennessey's must be in Avalon then, eh? I usually made it no further than the airport at the NW end of the island.

With the proximity of houses to the airfield, the age of the photo, and the private aircraft hangars, I decided it was in the United States. The airfield looks like an early residential airpark. Is it York, Pennsylvania ?
