The presence of the House of Representatives building (1955) at the eastern end of the Race Course, and the absence of the National Hall (1960) to its south, suggests that this image was taken between those two dates
The blurs at the bottom of the image are the interior of the airplane, not damage to the negative
Originally contained in an envelope (29N:43:t/DW_07809) with the caption "Air: Ibadan, Lagos. Bad. Faulty"
