Pick the airfield...
 
From some time ago. You might even recognise the company, or pilot.

Well a few clues: UH-12 seems to be from Alpine Helicopters in New Zealand while the Percival P40 Prentice is ZK-DJC. So it would be some time after Nov 72 when that was registered. Given terrain in background, I would say Queenstown airport.

I'm not good at this sort of thing, but I will give it a go.

Schiphol? KLM?

Well done Agile, you were more persistent in matching up the view angle and features than my Google Street View attempts.

Also liked the then and now comparison. Now all we need is a Squirrel or BK117 approaching to land in current shot.
