Ipoh it is Not.
descol and sabredog;
May I take you back to Page 267 and image 5336. That is not Ipoh!! It is Paya Lebah which was Singapores' new airport opened in August 1955. The Malayan Airways DC-3 is facing East towards the single Rw 02/20. The photograph was possible taken not long after the airport opened. Do you happen to have other photographs of airports on Malayan Airways route structure 1950-1960. Malacca, Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Taiping, Penang, Alor Star, Kuantan, Kota Baru, Kuching, Sibu, Brunei, Labuan, Jesselton, Sandakan. I was there for many years and those particular airports are drenched in memories for me. Regards

I can see my old house from here ! I lived, worked and flew out of here in the late 1970s and early 1980. We are looking down runway 08 at Watson lake, Yukon. CYQH.
The cross-wind runway is closed. The aerodrome was part of the Northwest Staging route during WW.II, and was shared by the USAAF and RCAF. It was a cold weather test facility for the RCAF during the immediate post-war period. The aerodrome still has an ILS, VOR/DME and an NDB. The old wooden terminal building is an historical site.
