Might be a quiet day.
Any non-regulars around ? |

About 30-40 years ago, there was a superb collection of photos on a mezzanine floor in the terminal, of aircraft that had passed through, with particular emphasis on the 1930s. The abiding theme was "He departed Gander on (insert date) bound for (insert European destination) and was never seen again...…………………….." Perhaps too ominous for nervous passengers about to cross the Atlantic. The last time I stopped there, about 1991, the terminal had recently been redeveloped and the photos had gone. I do hope they have been preserved somewhere appropriate. It has been moved. CBC news |
SLB:
My memory is just of a collection of photos, not the other exhibits that your link shows, and it had gone from where I saw it at YQX well before 2001. |
If Open House is declared, regular posters should not jump in immediately, but time should be given for those who are not great at naming the correct location as they may have some good images. |

Please note that this rule is not bound by the 2x24 hours. So 4,5 hrs of Jenkins can be enough. As OH has been called quite much lately, then I think the waiting time can be taken shorter. There have been plenty of opportunities to jump on the wagon at any time of day. If we have had a long string of non OH we must remember this rule. (just my opinion) So go Ahead if you have any ready. SLB |
The problem is that no timescale is stated.
It seems that "non-regulars" by definition hardly ever post anyway. I do have some ready but...….. |

Luton Airport?
I was gonna suggest Rearsby due to the number of high wing types visible but I don't think it is. |
Marrakech...had a near-death experience there,`bushy-topped trees` are really just `bushy-topped bushes` in the desert..
Deffo Luton...learned to fly there courtesy of the lovely Elizabeth O....!! |
Luton it is.
Top banana for chevvron. |
Open house again.
Suppose I should have said 'not the original Luton Airport' ie Barton. |
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....b3d38b432.jpeg I think I can give the clue that by the looks of the flags, it is an international airport. SLB |
Is that two Danish flags on the right. Trees on a hill in the background with Nordic looking house.
How about Copenhagen? |
It isTHE Luton Airport not Barton. Old Farmhouse/ Directors House/ then Freds Bar in the middle
|
Not Copenhagen |
Antwerp, Belgium ?

That building in the Left background looks familiar. I'm sure I've seen it in another historical photo somewhere. Could it be Budapest Ferihegy?
|
|
Le Bourget?
|
dixi188 asked if the flags are Danish.
I've looked more closely and they look Swedish to me. |
Googled "sweden flygplats b29" and a slightly cropped same image comes up but it doesn't tell me where it is. :(
|
I think the Swedish and Danish flags can look quite the same in black and white photography. But I can also see Greek flag and Poland in the front and a number of vertical tricolores which can be Italy, France, Ireland, Belgium etc. So leave the flags. |

Dook has control Bromma Stockholm First international Airfield with paved runways from its opening. Degraded to GA airport with the arrival of the jet airliners because the runway was too short. I think the B-29 could have only visited as it had no bomb load. Nowadays again some international connections. Not much changed as Terminal is protected historical building. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....cc6adeb64.jpeg |

The historical building is still there, Now Pelgrims hotel. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....f34074536.jpeg |

Moved to France...?
|
Unfortunately we have not.
|
I think we're in the USA with that windmill?
|
Now we're moving.
|
Luckily the USA is only a small country |
Start to make it smaller then.
|
We split the states: Is in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico or West of those? |
Probably `where the wind comes whistling up your shorts`....ok
|
Slb - none of those and to the east of them.
sycamore - if you mean Oklahoma it's not there either. |

You should both go east.
