May be, it was a little bit difficult. Here is another pic from the airport. The old apron was on the north side, upper side of the pic.

Sorry, if there are too many pixels

Well that defo looks like Innsbruck to me.

dash7fan 5th Nov 2007 09:35

Yes, it is Innsbruck. You have control.

Wild guess - could it be Renfrew?

Date - hmm mid 50s - but another wild guess is that the date might be a significant clue......

Flap40 5th Nov 2007 10:20

Not Renfrew but you are in the right decade.

Northolt?
plus an extra character

Flap40 5th Nov 2007 10:54

Not Northolt.

The aircraft is seen arriving, having departed from Heathrow.

1954, a Pionair at Schiphol?

Flap40 5th Nov 2007 11:22

Not Schiphol either - wrong country

BEA Pioneer G-ALXK leaving Gatwick on the first flight from Gatwick after its re-opening by the Queen on the 9th June 1958.

Mel has it. I agree that the caption on the photo had it as departing but I think it could be arriving. The engineer seems to be walking towards the aircraft which I find unusual if it was departing.

Next Challenge
 
Thanks for that Flap40. I tried a search on Google regarding this event and a reference came up stating that HM the Queen arrived for the opening ceremony in a DH Heron but when I tried to log on I discovered access was not possible due to either a fault or a problem with my firewall.
Here is the next challenge:-
