Dallas Love Field. OH if correct. Had great fun trying to identify the Impalas, DeSotos and other tail-finned V8s.

Love Field it is - or was in 1957.

Here's the full car journey for Broadbeach and others who want to identify the fins etc. Not it's not because apparently 5Mb is too large to attach. PM me and I'll email to you.

Open house it is.

Because it is a new airport in an fast growing economy/country where we don’t have many historical shots?
(Like Daxing China which it is probably not)

Right side of the road driving.

Asturias56 14th Jun 2022 08:15

Correct - right hand side of the road driving. A "fast growing economy/country" - wrong

Not new but not old either. Long way from China.

Purely civilian

How about Istanbul ?

Asturias56 14th Jun 2022 15:29

Somewhat closer than Columbo or Daxing. I suspect some people here may have visited it at one time or another

Yes passed there once on my way to Tel Aviv and visited once.
But not in 1970 when your photo was taken

This was about 10 years earlier I think Bear

I don’t think your photo will be of much help to others.
When I visited I flew in from Rotterdam/The Hague on a SAAB 340.

Looks like France to me.

OUAQUKGF Ops 15th Jun 2022 22:20

Grand Nez ?

Asturias56 16th Jun 2022 07:29

It is La Belle France - anyone fancy naming it?

Lyon Satolas LYS/LFLL ?

chevvron 16th Jun 2022 10:05

Charlie Diggle?

Asturias56 16th Jun 2022 13:09

Not Lyon and Wiki shows no "Charlie Diggle" - that's not even proper ICAO phonetics!
