Which Aerodrome Mk IV
Might be Keflavik - all those times will be on pistons remember
I believe you're spot on there Descol.
I have the photo captioned - May 29, 1969 at Sondrestrom Air Base - (Wiki says this is now Kangerlussuaq). The Conroy "Turbo Three" (N4700C) was heading to the 1969 Paris air show, hoping to promote sales for the turboprop conversion. Pilots for the trip included Clay Lacy, Jack Conroy and Herman 'Fish' Salmon. As a sales trip it was unsuccessful, according to Lacy.
Over to you Drescol.

Yes- Asturias – it is Dublin – You have control
My hometown Airport turns 83 today
Ireland's busiest airport first opened its door on January 19, 1940.
The Iconic terminal for Collinstown Airport, as it was known back then, was designed by architect Desmond FitzGerald.
It’s inaugural flight - an Aer Lingus Lockheed 14 bound for Liverpool - that took off 83 years ago today.
Because it opened during World War II, Collinstown was "effectively mothballed" and Aer Lingus operated just a twice-weekly service to Liverpool.
The first service to London Croydon started in November 1945, and by 1947, Dublin Airport offered flights to Continental Europe with Dutch Airline KLM introducing its first European service to Dublin.
The first scheduled transatlantic service to New York took off in April 1958.
