Only a guess but Rockcliffe - now the home of the Canadian Aviation Museum.

Sorry, not Rockliffe. Not in Canada.

Somewhere Tropical?

Yes, it is in a tropical climate.

One is guessing here: Puttalam?

Sorry, not Puttalam. It is on an island, and it is historic.

Well, Singapore's an island so how about Seletar? It looks quite different now, with the reservoir to the west and the reclaimed land to the north, but the shape of the coast looks similar.

Not Singapore, Malaysia, nor Indonesia.

Could it be Labuan?
Mel

Luke Field / Ford Island Naval Auxiliary Landing Field (HVG), Pearl Harbor, HI?

The former New York general aviation airfield known as Flushing.

Good morning everyone, yes thats it.

You have it.

Thank you. Here is the next aerodrome:

A double-decker bus and DC6s, what a fascinating combination.

Turnhouse?

Sorry, not Turnhouse.

Would it be a colonial location, Africa by any chance?

Sorry, Sid, not on the continent of Africa.

Bermuda?


.

Not Bermuda. Not on an island.

Not an Island? Well that rules out Australia then!:}

Not Australia. Not in the southern hemisphere. The airport has been the site of a few historical flights.

Very, very long shot..............Croydon?

Presumably then not anywhere in the UK?

Not in the U.K. The airport was notable during WW.II . The airport is still active, but I think the terminal building and control tower pictured have been demolished.

Sorry, tis not Ireland. It is a sunny locale, but it is not known for its double-decker buses. The airport had something in common with Shannon a while ago.

Going back much earlier than 9/11. They also share a few things that are timeless. The mystery airport is not located in North America.

Keflavik International Airport ? Or as was called at that time ???? Keith.

Not Keflavik. Not Iceland.

Ok, Lets go south and try Lisbon ???? Keith.

norwich is correct. Aeroporto Lisboa, Portela Airport, (ELIS), Portugal, You have control.

Pray tell what did Lisbon & Shannon have in common?

Flying boats?:O

Wow, thank you, I just jumped in here with no knowledge at all ! Have no idea of any links with Shannon, But worst of all have nothing to post, "but I'll be back" So it's "OPEN HOUSE" Keith.

Both Lisbon and Shannon were trans-atlantic terminuses, and during World War II, both Ireland and Portugal were neutral. The aerodromes quickly became transfer points and gateways for many a spy, diplomat, refugee and celebrity. Secrets and personnel were often traded.

They are on a similar meridian of longitude (approx. 9 deg. W.) and are by the Atlantic Ocean. Pan Am's Flying Clippers made many trips between Foynes and Lisbon. In 1945 one of Pan Am's last Boeing 314 Flying Boat scheduled flights was made between Foynes and Lisbon.

What bus?
 

Did they drive on the left then? Unless I'm having a senior moment the cab is set up for driving on the left - which was one of the reasons I thought it was UK. The DC6s I thought might be French rugby charters, hence Turnhouse. Funny how your mind works.

Jumping in with Norwich's offer of open house.

Not actaully as difficult as it would first seem. Only a little lateral thinking required.

A Valiant at Goose Bay ?
