Undated slide from FNG archive. Almost certainly comissioned by the airport company to document a busy traffic scene. By coincidence the image can be dated rather precisely by the visible One Elevens. While Caledonian dissapeared in the 1970 BUA merger, Dan Air took delivery of its first example in 1969 and BEA used the joint Air France livery on its Tempelhof services from 1969 to 1972. Almost all the building are still in use by 2022 albeit integrated in later extensions.

Undated slide from FNG archive. A relaxed summer scene showing what must have been a very busy moment at the first newly built airport in Germany after the war in 1955. Visible are a Pan American DC-6B, Lufthansa CV-340/440, Beech 65, MS-760 Paris and DC-3. A Lufthansa B.720 is working the circuit in the background. The Clipper is N6522C, a DC-6B operating internal german services in the early sixties. The Paris is D-INGE, which was registered as one of only two German examples in 1961, all others remain unidentified. The control tower is still in use in 2022, now being occupied by airport operations.
