Thanks Lars. I enjoyed your challenge. Here is the next 'Which aerodrome?

Long Beach CA - the Flying Tigers start-up fleet of Budd C-93 Conestogas, not the prettiest aeroplane ever built.
Edit: likely to be incommunicado for several hours so if I'm correct I'll waive my go and jump in next time there's a free slot. |
It must be a Municipal Airport, it says so on the Fire Dept building.

The SSK is correct:ok: The airport and the aircraft were correctly identified. Well done:D. As stated, it is open house.

Cherry Point North Carolina?
|
Sorry, no.
|
I'll add that its the right country though. Photo from an airshow in 1954.
Looking on Google Earth, whilst the airport has been much developed since, the buildings still seem to be there although not necessarily the same size, with the exception of the disappearence of tower on the corner of the hangar. |
Bridgeport.
Open house; Im away for a few days. |
Correct.
Its a bit difficult striking a balance between being too obscure and giving away too many clues isn't it. |
Since it's Open House
Here's my effort from yesterday. I anticipate it will have a short shelf life.
