  The Wallace Monument did not change in a century. September 1990.

• Stephen Buchan said:

  There are various statues of William Wallace, but this structure is known as the Wallace Monument.

  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called ANYTHING GOES SCOTLAND,VINTAGE PHOTOS,POSTCARDS,EPHEMERAetc..., and we'd love to have this added to the group!

• Gavin Veasey said:

  It's a particle cannon.

• Jeff said:

  Yes! Wallace Monument seems clearer, especially as it appears in the lower left corner. Thanks, all!

  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
  

• A30yoyo said:

  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_...

  French Air Force B-17 in background is, General Koenig's 'Bir Hackeim' , the only B-17 they received which flew via Middle East and India to Indochina ca.September 1945
  
  Also visible a B-24, P-47(razor-back, USAAF)? and B-25

• A30yoyo said:

  And based on the hangar in one of the other Stirling photos the airfield is Dum Dum Calcutta

• A30yoyo said:

  French sources have dated this photo between 12-17 September 1945 based on the schedule of the French VIPs using the B-17...so Jack Canary was presumably on his return journey from the CBI zone
