Some months ago this photo was offered at AirlineHobby.
Any idea where it was taken?
Guess it was around 1977

Just to validate the location of the Heron picture, here’s a photo that I took of an Angel 44 on pretty much the same spot in Iceland only a few days ago! Recognise the background? .:)

Thank you all for your help in identifying this location!

Your welcome Martin.
The aircraft is parked in front of what is now Flight Services FBO on the eastern apron of the airport close to Hotel Loftleidir, just north of hangar 1
Regards,

This photo is taken at Reykjavik Airport. The hangar you see in the background is hangar 4 with the associated office buildings of Air Iceland on the south wall. NO question about it.
Love that sort of a statement 😉
Thanks a lot!

Thanks Keith!
Will have a closer look on hangar at Jersey and Biggin Hill, maybe….
Think it is too flat for Biggin. Jersey, a “maybe”, only been there a couple of times.

Could it be Jersey ? This aircraft was registered to Pan Universal Aircraft Services, St Helier, Jersey from 06.04.77 untill 14.07.77 then (via an aircraft dealership) to Peters Aviation, Norwich from 08.08.77 untill 28.03.78 when sold to Puerto Rico !
Having searched google images there are many photos of this aircraft in the same colour scheme at the Biggin Hill Air Fair 1977 !!

Definitely not Norwich ! I was here throughout the Heron era ! another place that attracted several Herons and Doves was Executive Air Engineering at Coventry ??
Keith 🙂
Keith………
You are right about Executive Engineering being at Baginton (aka Coventry). My first thought was Coventry too but do not think it is.
