I can find no trace of any drive in around the Goodhope area from a 1955 aerial photo. It’s possible that the drive in was only an open field with no ramps.
However, if flying lessons were also being given, I would expect to see a grass airstrip. And I see no trace of that nor of any buildings large enough to shelter a plane.
I’m not doubting the drive in or air strip existed, but a more accurate address will be needed for confirmation. Especially since a 1955 aerial of good quality should show something.
Correction: Owen’s Open Air Theatre was a drive-in opened by George Owen on June, 1950 with Chief Thundercloud in “Call of the Forest” supported by the Looney Tunes' cartoon, “Frigid Hare.”
