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.
Current photo of Long Beach, California (KLGB):

Cherry Point North Carolina?

Duckbutt 14th Nov 2007 17:05

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.

Duckbutt 15th Nov 2007 14:08

Correct.

Its a bit difficult striking a balance between being too obscure and giving away too many clues isn't it.

The SSK 15th Nov 2007 14:15

Since it's Open House
 
Here's my effort from yesterday. I anticipate it will have a short shelf life.

Yes, it's Coventry, pic borrowed from this utterly fascinating website about a fascinating airport.
