Which Aerodrome?
Well, it's 10 Sqn RAAF and if it's not Mountbatten then it has to be Pembroke Dock?
If I'm right, then let someone else have a go. I still can't figure out how to post a photograph on to the forum.

Having lived there for many years, and watched a concrete yacht being built around the corner, I was still not sure until I checked.
I think it's the old base that was near to the sugar terminal in Durban Bay harbour.
If it is, someone else can take it away till I get more time in the attic

Edited to add:
Sunderland reconnaissance flying boats of No.35 Squadron, South African Air Force at the Marine Air Force Base at Bayhead, Durban in 1948. This area now forms part of the ship repair yards of Dormac Marine.

ImageGear is correct. It is SAAF Congella, Maydon Wharf, Durban, Natal. In April 1945, 35 Squadron received the 1st of 16 Short Sunderland GR5s, and operated the type until September 1957, when it was replaced by the Avro Shackleton.
