Eighty-five years after being designated as Berlin Airport, the German capital's historic downtown Tempelhof Airport has closed with the departure of its last scheduled service and that of two vintage aircraft.

A selection of images of the airport from the beginning to the present day can be seen on their website.

If you have any memories of using the airport or know what is happening to it next, why not share them on AirSpace.

Can you guess the airport and win a prize?
