Does anyone recognise the location? There is one obvious clue. I’m sure the building has been extended at either side from the original design, however it is 20 years since I was last there… when it was something other than a hotel. The building itself is 74 years old on the 1st July 2007.

It reminds me of somewhere in Croydon, though I’m probably wrong.
Is that a De Havilland Rapide?

Oh well done Mr Ian – it is indeed a DH89 Dragon Rapide. The location is somewhere local-ish, somewhere I drove past today, i’ll prolong the mystery for a little longer… then i’ll put up the rest of the photos!

Marriott® Liverpool Hotel South, Speke Aerodrome.

Mr Muir, full marks! – it is the old Liverpool Airport. In the days when it didn’t have a silly name to make it appear trendy nor a logo that could have been drawn by a five year old this was the main terminal at Speke. These days the new airport is located a couple of miles south east towards the bizarrely named hamlet of “Oglet”.
