Oz changed the design of the Beaufort fin - so it has to be in Oz.
At first I thought of Fishermens Bend, Victoria
But if that's the Kingsford Smith Air Service hangar in the background, I'll plump for Mascot, Sydney ---

It's Mascot and a DAP Beaufort - well done Cuefaye!
The caption to the photo reads "Beaufort T9541, the first aircraft assembled at the Dept of Aircraft Production's GAF at Mascot, taking off on its first flight on 20 October 1941." Actually I rather think it's landing. It's using the old 12/30 runway, traces of which could still be seen in the 1970's as a taxiway before it was swallowed up by what was then the Ansett tarmac/terminal/aerobridges etc.
Over to you....

I'm not checked out on Beauforts, but at a guess, I'd say you wouldn't use that much flap for takeoff.

Or that much up elevator....
Actually Chevvron, given the type's dire reputation with the RAAF, maybe you should be grateful that you're not checked out?

Two days! It clearly can't have been available via GI or LM would have "researched" it by now. ![Wink](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/wink2.gif)
PS What's the aircraft?

'On the glidepath well right of centreline correcting slow'.

The name 'Istres' stands out.
