A is Townsville. Not too recent. Looking down on Castle Hill. Story goes that during WWII, the Yanks declared Castle Hill to be a hazard to aviation and wanted to knock it down and use the rubble to build a causeway to Magie Is.
B ? Don't know. Looks like my part of the world. Tully?

There is some good spherical trigonometry practice here for those who are interested: What is the aircraft's lat/lon as the picture is taken? (The bearing is in deg TRUE).

Jbr76...........I recognise that man 3rd from the right (wearing glasses), but perhaps you don't.
It is "Molly", last heard of in NZ. And the handsome dark-haired chap in the centre of the photo (minus epaulettes) is well known in this forum, as are some of the other "suspects".
