Lisbon

Humberto Delgado International Airport (aka Lisboa/Lisbon Airport)
[LIS/LPPT]

Lisbon Airport or Portela Airport, is an international airport located 7 km northeast from the city centre of Lisbon.

The airport opened on 15 October 1942, during WWII, and initially operated in conjunction with the Cabo Ruivo Seaplane Base: seaplanes performed transatlantic flights, and passengers were transferred onto continental flights operating from the new airport. At the end of the war the airport developed rapidly, and by 1946 was used by major airlines.

In 1951–52, the airport had four runways laid out at 45-degree angles.
Major upgrades from 1959 to 1962 included a new runway capable of handling the first generation of jets.

In the background a DC-3 is visible.
I believe it is a TAP DC-3.
I can see a "CS" under the right wing,
I can think it is painted "Transportes Aereos Portugueses" on the airplane. Also I think I can spot the logo on the foreward part of the fuselage.
There is no way I can tell the registration.
