Sounded convincing, twochai, but not Ljubljana.

Guessing but the outline of the hill in the backgroung rings some bells. Could this just possibly be on a certain island somehwre in the Pacific?

Fishtailed 19th Aug 2008 16:09

Not on an island in the Pacific.

Would that be a Portugese flag in the front right?
Like somewhere on the Azores? Pico?

Fishtailed 20th Aug 2008 15:28

I hadn’t seen a flag, but would be surprised if it was Portugese.

Bottom right, limp. Looks to be green at the hoist and red at the fly, can't see the middle stripe (if any).
Cameroon, Italy, Mali,Mexico,Senegal. Doesn't look African to me, so Italy or Mexico. Italy I think.

PaperTiger, I think you might be right ...
Torino Aeritalia airport?

PaperTiger 20th Aug 2008 19:12

By Jove, I think she's got it:

Central African Airways Vickers Viking 1B, at Ndola, Zambia, (Northern Rhodesia) late 1940s?

Might it be Bankstown?

evansb 21st Aug 2008 20:23

Sorry, not Bankstown.

S'land 21st Aug 2008 21:00

Toronto Downsview, the former DeHavilland Canada Factory, now the Toronto Aerospace Museum?

evansb 21st Aug 2008 21:05

The DHC plant at Downsview, Ontario is correct.:ok: S'land has control.

S'land 21st Aug 2008 21:23

Thank you Bri. It is surprising how little the actual building has changed over the years (from above that is).

Here is the next one:
