Guess the Airport

Keith, I’ll see what i can do – may take me some time, as i will probably get all of the various films that I have sorted and converted at the same time, but will post a link here once I have this particular bit of footage in an accessible format.
Rgds, Alan.

Many Thanks Alan, If there is any decent footage on my sisters DVD’s I will do the same.

Not the Queen, she visited in Jan/Feb 1956 – my grandfather worked in Kano / Jos at the time, and met the Royal couple at some stage – so this is probably the opening of the new terminal building. I have some old 8mm colour cine film taken by my grandfather of Jos(?) airfield in the early/mid 50s, showing amongst other things a DC3 arrival in a cloud of dust (my Aunt was on board) – not sure how I get this converted to digital format, but may be of some interest if it can be done.

Hi Alan,
Very interesting – I would certainly be interested in seeing the cine film if you can get it into digital format. My sister strangely enough has just had a load of old B&W 8mm film my dad took in Kano put onto Dvd but she says the quality is poor but she says there is some footage of Kano airport.

Its Kano in Northern Nigeria, May 1957. I am not sure if its a visit by the Queen or the opening of the terminal. My Dad worked there after he left Aer Lingus. I remember standing on the terrace on the right hand side watching an Aeroflot IL 18 taking off at the end of 1960.

No idea where it is, if its an airshow the security looks a bit extreme.

Spot on, it’s Atlantic City. Taken at a very shallow angle through the windscreen, hence the poor quality.

Hmm it does look the Miami beach area where I stayed a few years back. But then I never saw it from above….

It’s a pretty small city, perhaps Atlantic City? If we had Smell-O-Vision we could tell if it smelled like New Jersey. 😀

I was thinking it has to be in either the L.A. or the N.Y. area, as Ian flies into LAX and JFK. Now that you mention it WD, it has to be Atlantic City.
