You can suggest it and you would be correct!

Just off to the left (west) of the picture is a ramp with several very old aircraft parked on it beside a hangar: last time I was there I thought I saw a Connie.

Looking on Google Maps there appears to be a Noratlas and something I can't work out with a big prop on it - anyone know what that is ?

Here's a real easy one ...

A bit more research has answered my own question - aeroscope at Nantes has a Noratlas, Connie and a yellow AN2 which looks to be sans wings in the Google picture.

Not Manchester, sorry.

Good old Brum!

Don't want to be a party pooper but afraid will have to pass on 'over to you' - never taken a photo in my life! I'm sure there is someone who can fill in.

I'm not sure if that's Brooklands top left. If it is then this must be early Wisley.

I think that is a beach rather than a race track. Maybe St Mary's in the Scilly Isles?
