Birmingham.............the Alabama one. Yes, the clue was the National Air Carnival text.

[Mr_Grubby]

Paris CDG terminal 2 ?

[Ridge Runner]

I'd say it was in a hot climate judging by the number of a/c outlets?

[TheChitterneFlyer]

I believe it's Cairo

[Ridge Runner]

Yes, I think you're right - the old terminal. RR

[one11]

Hot climate is correct, but not Cairo ...or Paris

[Mr_Grubby]

I think it is somewhere in the Gulf. Looks like a Saudi 707 there.

[Ridge Runner]

How about Tripoli?

[one11]

Correct on the Saudi 707 but not in the Gulf or Tripoli but the general trend is in the right direction

[Ridge Runner]

Casablanca????

[one11]

Yes, RR...Casablanca Mohammed V. You have control.

[Ridge Runner]

Thanks One11. Here is another..... maybe easy? RR

Here is another shot taken from the crew door of a RAF Hercules during a visit in 1986

Surely port paratroop door? (Stop calling me Shirley!)

[Ridge Runner]

Sorry MM, not St. Johns

Surely port paratroop door? (Stop calling me Shirley!)

Thank you , you are of course correct. Crew door is well forward of the props.

For the first time in my memory this thread has slipped to page 2! Maybe little interest so, in order to wrap it up and get on to another post....

The airfield was the international airport for this destination until the military airfield nearby was converted in the 1960s. Nowadays it still gets the likes of DC-3s (occasionally!) but it is too close to the city for much large traffic. It now houses flying schools and the local fire watch operations.
