Dakar,Senegal ?

Aeroport International De Oagadougou, (Wagadugu), Burkina Faso, formerly Republique de Haute-Volta (Upper Volta) ?

Good guesses, but not there.

Talking of temperatures, without a doubt the aircraft's next landing but one was in a very hot place.

Is it Sao Tome Intl - perhaps during the Biafran airlift?

Just a guess, but open house if correct.

DH

Definitely thinking along the right lines DH but that was the next landing but two for this aircraft.

Port Harcourt. Just a guess 'cos it never stopped raining when I was there.

It looks a bit like Casablanca-Nouasser but I think the tower is a bit on the short side.

Although reasonable suggestions, neither Casablanca or Port Harcourt. A photo taken much more recently would seem to show that the tower in the first photo has been superceded:

Niamey International, Niger. If correct open house - the painting would be nice.

Niamey it is.

I stand to be corrected but I understand the Transair DC-7B was chartered in August 1968 by a Danish priest to fly medicinal supplies into Sao Tomei and was transiting though Niger. The pilot was Count Gustav von Rosen the Chief Pilot for Transair who had previously had a somewhat adventurous flying career. He was persuaded to make a flight from Sao Tomei to Uli, Biafra with humanitarian aid and he did so without reference to his employers.

A little later he organised a rudimentary air force for the Biafrans using redundant Swedish MFI-9B trainers converted to hold twelve rockets in pods under the wing. It was claimed they destroyed at least four MIGs, one Ilyushin 28, two Canberras, a Heron and a control tower!

Open House Ladies And Gents.....

Here is the next mystery aerodrome:

That looks suspiciosly like Wynyard in Tasmania with a Dept of Civil Aviation
(or whatever they called themselves at that time!) aircraft.

Open house if I'm correct.

Emeritus

Wild wild guess, Rangoon...........

Tango Charlie has flown over Rangoon at 10000' (with Diplomatic Clearance) in1973 but was nowhere near when this photo was taken.:confused:

Another wild guess. Walton Airport, Lahore at the time of the Hunting West Pakistan Geological surveys.

Sorry. Wrong Continent.

Marrakesh,Morocco.
