Looks like an Austrian Airlines Viscount? But the English language 'Unauthorised Persons not permitted etc.' sign would argue against Austria.
Couldn't be an early Manchester Ringway could it? |
Both Taa and Ansett paint schemes had solid stripes along the window line completely filling the spaces between the windows, so I do not think we are in Australia.
Pity the photo's resolution is not good enough to read the name on the aircraft's nose, or recognise the pilot's cap badge. It looks like a BP logo on the refueling equipment though. |

OK. so we might be in New Zealand. The terrain looks fairly flat, so I'll take a stab at Christchurch. |
The colour of the tarmac and type of trees says Whenaupai to me. Even if not, it's a great excuse to post this line up...is that a BOAC Comet at the end?

Max Tow sleuths to the truth!
NAC Viscount 807 sits resplendent at Whenuapai airport on a warm May 1964 day, the year before Mangere became operational. In response to the query on the B&W photo; yes, there was at least one Comet 4 visit to Auckland at that time. Max Tow has control. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....22b3276e93.png |
Thanks Siftydog. It seems that the Comet was a twice weekly service via SYD and at the time, the only jet able to get into Auckland before the new airport with its longer runway.
OH. |
May I put forward this beautiful picture as the next challenge?

Western USA? I also don’t know the answer. Only clue I can give is that the runway nr is 15-33. |
Wot Flaps up already?

Sorry, although a suitable candidate at first sight I think Heathrow’s runway 15-33 was probably closed before the first flight of the G650.
|
Ha! Well then it is probably west of the Mississippi - 15/30 seems to be more common as you go north & West in the USA
|
As56, 15/30 not very common...
|
15/30, that's a 'kinky' runway.

In the mean time I have found the answer myself.
That enabled me to give some more clues: https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....46dc979cd.jpeg |
As soon as I saw your latest I thought I'd seen it somewhere. Pretty sure it's Page, AZ.
|
Definitely Page KPGA.
