Which Aerodrome Mk III
Back to Gander:
About 30-40 years ago, there was a superb collection of photos on a mezzanine floor in the terminal, of aircraft that had passed through, with particular emphasis on the 1930s. The abiding theme was "He departed Gander on (insert date) bound for (insert European destination) and was never seen again...…………………….."
Perhaps too ominous for nervous passengers about to cross the Atlantic. The last time I stopped there, about 1991, the terminal had recently been redeveloped and the photos had gone. I do hope they have been preserved somewhere appropriate.

It has been moved.

If Open House is declared, regular posters should not jump in immediately, but time should be given for those who are not great at naming the correct location as they may have some good images.

No, not at all, keep it as it is.
Please note that this rule is not bound by the 2x24 hours.
So 4,5 hrs of Jenkins can be enough.
As OH has been called quite much lately, then I think the waiting time can be taken shorter.
There have been plenty of opportunities to jump on the wagon at any time of day.
If we have had a long string of non OH we must remember this rule.
(just my opinion)
So go Ahead if you have any ready.

Luton Airport?
I was gonna suggest Rearsby due to the number of high wing types visible but I don't think it is.

Open house again.
Suppose I should have said 'not the original Luton Airport' ie Barton.
