Ah, the sound of the York, at least while the engines continued to run.

BSAA, ship is Star Dawn? So my total guess is Kingston.

And having found a relevant timetable with all the stops I would need about 27 guesses, so I will start with Havana.

In a "there and gone again" moment of memory, that equipment shelter reminded me of Sharjah.

Sorry I spoke, I see we had that in June this year.

Actually I now see that this one has appeared before under one of its titles, but it's not Sharjah

That logo on the machine on the right looks like the ASGUL logo.

So could it be Bahrain ?

Indeed it could, Bahrein - Muharraq, early 50's.
Back to you Mr_Grubby

Thanks one11,

It was the ASGUL logo and the Gulf Aviation Dove in the background and the fact that I lived in Bahrein for two years as a nipper that gave it away.

Going back a few years now with this next aerodrome.
