Fascinating, John. I bet Charlie B will know! It pre-dates my 1st visit in 1978 . . . I'd guess it is mid-60s.

Tough call. I would say mid to late '60s. Perhaps into the early '70s. Here are some from the mid '60s:

Wonderful, Charlie! And the color is quite well preserved. It's fun, of course, to also see te celebrated herd of sheep that had to be scattered from the runway when a plane wanted to land.
