One 11,

Yes of course. You are quite correct.

This picture taken in 1934.

Baldonnel is an airfield to the south west of Dublin, Ireland situated off the N7 main road route to the south and south west. Currently in use by the Irish Air Corps.

In February 1965 Baldonnel was renamed Casement Aerodrome, EIME, in honor of the Irish nationalist Roger Casement, executed for treason by the British in 1916.

You sir, have the helm.

Clint.

Ten hours and not one guess. I think this one should be easy.

The image is from a Commonwealth country.

Reason for edit: Can't add

Now 24 hours and not one guess. I will "unmonochromize" the image to make it easier.

A very long way from the Antipodes.

Another hint: Maybe 500 miles from antipodal to a remote part of one of the Antipodes.

Yes, handsfree, it is Crown Point International Airport on Tobago. That's only about 500 miles from antipodal to the NW cape of Oz.

C2j, it's your turn again.

I would guess at either the USA or Canada but where ever it is they are certainly going to struggle getting all those aircraft into the one hangar.

Raleigh Municipal Airport
possibly.
