Well done sir. It is indeed Verviers EBTX, Belgium.
Home of Royal Verviers Aviation.

The picture was taken in 1953 but apart from more foliage and an extra hangar the place seems much the same.

You have control.

Nothing to show at the moment.

Open house

I am sure this will cause no problems.

I thought that '39' referred to the runway in use at first! Anyway how about Mauritius/Plaisance?

[MReyn24050]

Sorry Chevvron not Mauritius/Plaisance.
