Well I realy thought this would have been 'history' by now ? So time for a clue or two .... we have had two very good suggestions, both from Germany, which is good .... one was, as the crow flies, 70 miles distant and the other was 145 miles distant, but still within Germany ??
This aerodrome has a strong connection with two very historic aviation manufacturers past and present ??

Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith (seated) received a lively welcome when he and his Southern Cross Fokker Trimotor touched down on Toowoomba on August 5, 1932.

I love the "jodhpur" flying suits :)
