  It might be possible to identify the location from the hangars in this photo
  and the B-17 behind looks like General Koenig's 'Bir Hackeim' ,the only French Air Force B-17 which passed through India en-route Indo-China around September 1945

  I think the Stirling is at the very large American funded CBI support base at Dum Dum, Calcutta (Kolkata)....the distinctive hangar design shows up in this later photo of a USAF C-124 during the Korean war, 1953 upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/20/C-124_374TCW_...
