Cool, so that actually narrows this photo down to a 3-year period.
Yep. Summer of '48, '49, or '50. And if you look in the background of this image, you can see the same short, white bollards and chains around the buildings at Chilliwack Municipal Airport.
Goddamn, good eye. I didn't even notice that.
Clearly had some money to have a plane at the time. We can see 2 substantial rings on her hands.
Photo quality is excellent - can almost read a name on the side of the cowling.
Neat!
