A nostalgic picture taken with a pre-WWII pinhole Box Brownie camera in the days when the airport was a regular cycle ride from home. The Newcastle Aero Club's club house is on the far right and I think the aircraft is possibly their Piper Tri-pacer. The hangar was still there when I last visited the vastly expanded modern airport terminal on the other side of the extended runway.
