What catches your eye???

I am having the big clean up ahead of the move to Christchurch in October and came across this postcard... There are a lot of interesting features in it. What catches your eye???

    Obviously the lovely DC-8 mixed with the DC-3's, but its the BAC-111 that got my attention on the ramp. Shows what could have been!

      111 caught my eye too. Thank goodness they went with the 737!

    Apart from the awesome aircraft in the shot, what catches my eyes is that most of those buildings no longer exist. A handful of the smaller buildings in the background remain, and one of the hangers to the right. The rest have all been replaced. Oh how I miss that viewing deck.

    Is the DC-3 on the right hand side beyond the Deep Freeze barracks the one that went to Ferrymead???

    Back in the day when only a hip-high fence prevented the hoi poloi from wandering around.
