Where is this…

Thanks for the input here…

Looking closer, and at the German image too, I agree with longshot about the two Connies to the left. The one tail-on, to the right of the black sheds, still looks like a BOAC Super Connie to me. That fits in with the German site’s date for the picture.
The BEA hangar, which became known as TBE later, was finished in 1954. In the photo there is construction activity behind it – a couple of cranes, and maybe that structure to the left of the TBE offices is a concrete silo? The second hangar block, later TBD, was built later, but I don’t know enough about the construction to date this accurately. I’m sure it makes it more likely in the earlier part of our 1955-59 window, though.

CS-TLC had a radar nose by May 1959 so before that http://www.abpic.co.uk/photo/1025821/

Closest Connie by the hangars could be a Qantas 1049, the one behind a 749?…

Yes. shot from Queens Building roof, at ‘London Airport’ or L.A.P. as Heathrow was then called

EDIT…and a German site has the same photo dated September 1955 http://www.airlines-airliners.de/airliners/constellation/cs_tlc.jpg , may or may not be true

As farnboroughrob said, Heathrow, looking from the Central Area (so probably Queens Building) towards the BEA and BOAC maintenance areas. According to Air Britain’s book on the Constellation, CS-TLC was delivered new to TAP on 15 Sept 1955. It was used as the Presidential aircraft for a visit, arriving at Heathrow on 27 Oct 1955 – given the clutter around it in the photo, I’d suggest this is not that occasion. It was damaged in a ground collision (with CS-TLB) at Lisbon on 25 Feb 1955. It was repaired and came back into TAP service, but that definitely takes us outside the timeframe in which BOAC Connies would have been in the background. For my part, I rather think those are the Super Connies that BOAC leased from Seaboard & Western – if so, that further limits the timeframe to between March 55 and March 56.

Does that read BEA on that hangar ?

LHR.

Thats a very empty Heathrow taken from the Queens building, I guess between 55 and 59 as there are connies in the BOAC maintenance area.
