not Norway, quite a bit further south

Les Ecrehous?:)

had to be a Guernsey man who got it!
Are you winning the rugby?
Cheers

I've been to the Ecrehous, I think that's correct! I withdraw my suggestion.

Oh of course, it's the Siam Cup today. Jersey will be favourites as they field a virtually professional side now. Hang on, I'll try and find a piccie.

I've never been to Les Ecrehous, overflew it once at night with Channel Islands Air Search many moons ago though.;)

we over flew on our way from jersey to look at the landing beaches.

....and no cheating, just noticed a big clue in the URL.
Too late, hence I will defer to others.

I've already suggested that people should save these files so that the URL is not visible, but for some reason Sirikit threw her toys out of the pram when I made the suggestion.

I only noticed it after I posted. :O
People are only cheating themselves if they do look. :rolleyes:

It is safe to conclude that you shouldn't rely on your memory, Capetonian.

An Arctic runway?

Ooops!:O No, it's not! More rugged terrain in the pic. :O

Innsbruck?

It is safe to conclude that you shouldn't rely on your memory, Capetonian.

Meaning? I'm afraid most of the snide facetious remarks you direct my way are meaningless. Perhaps you could try to be direct.

Gee, you can't remember what you said????????

If you are so sure of yourself, remind me.

You owe me, and other people here, an apology. You seem to think that anyone who doesn't follow your 'rules' is some kind of delinquent schoolchild. As I've said to you before when you sent me an abusive PM, I hope I never fly on an airline you work for!

Ummmmmmmmm, I don't think soooooooooooooooooo!:p

Shame you have to pretend I sent you a PM.

I only abuse naked males!:E

No, not Innsbruck. :)

Shame you have to pretend I sent you a PM.
Now your memory is defective, or are you a liar? Dated 15APR.

I only abuse naked males
Not even funny. You clearly overrate yourself dramatically, I've seen of your other postings.

How would you know what I do?

I have PM'd you as this is not the place for this dialogue. All I'll say here is that I find your atttitude and comments to some of the posters here highly offensive, in particular your inference that people are 'cheating' - when it hardly matters anyway.

Well, they are!

You're getting out of shirt collar again!:ooh:

Nope.Would you like some clues yet? :)

What type of aircraft operate into this airport/airfield?

Um. :8 A330,B757, Dash 7.

Thank you,Beaufort.
So it is not a "Hole in a Hedge" type of airfield!
Another clue might be in order,please.

No, you could land anything there.:) The place begins with a K.:8

Strategically it was/is of great importance. ;)

Not Norway/Sweden or Iceland,but of strategic importance.

Correct.

Japan, Open House, people...;)

Where is this? Far away from the previous one.
http://members.toast.net/rcarpen/9aQuiz.jpg
This photo was taken in 1970. New "old" buildings have been added since then.

people should save these files so that the URL is not visible
How do you do that?

The Arctic Airport is impressive. Brrr...

Some cool photos if you Goggle greenland airport, e.g.,
Kangerlussuaq Airport, Greenland | Flickr - Photo Sharing! (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaet44/1443818947/in/photostream/)

Columbia, California? But the houses on the hill imply this guess is wrong.

Right country, wrong state.

Carson City, Nevada? (Never been there.)

Thar be gold and silver in them hills.

Somehow, that photo still says western US to me, with the vehicle that looks somewhat like a covered wagon on the right side and the dryish looking hills.

Then again, the buildings are made of brick, as far as I can tell, especially by the reverse S squiggle of the fastener in the upper left, which is commonly used to hold brick walls from tumbling if the neighboring building is torn down.

Rather old fashioned, albeit common construction technique. Brick walls don't do well in response to lateral forces from earthquakes, so aren't common on the west coast of US. (Wooden houses do much better when they need to sway. Oak versus willow, in the old fable.)

I'll change my guess to someplace in Pennsylvania. Since Gettysburg is a major tourist spot, is that it?

Gave up on Japan then?

Sorry fpr the delay, but one needs to sleep once in a while. It;s now 3:30 am here.

The dry hill and very blue sky really DO indicate the western USA. Mr V. 3miles is on the correct path. It is not Carson City. Towns which were rich could afford good brick and stone buildings.

Deadwood?:)

Deadwood it too far north. This old mining town is not very far from a major city.

Colorado? But I can't work out which town. Yet.

Yes, it is in Colorado.

#1797 : It's in Colorado, it's either Colorado Springs or Fort Collins - I've been to both and it looks eerily familiar. It's whichever of those two towns is closest to the Colorado National Monument or Park, as I remember driving out there, and what beautiful scenery it was too. Lovely people in that part of the US.

Edit : Somewhere I have photos I took when I was there, if I can find them and they are relevant I'll put them up.

The mystery city is near a larger city than Colorado Springs or Fort Collins.

I've just done some cheating .... oops .. Googling (maps) and I see that the Colorado National Monument is near Grand Junction. The only other places I've been to are Boulder and Denver. So my last guess is Boulder.

Capetonian is getting closer. Not Denver, not Boulder. In the early days this city had a much larger population than Denver. Today its population is less than 1000. It is now Ye Olde Tourist Trappe.

Central City,Colorado,U.S.A.

Sabredog gets the prize AGAIN. I thought that calling the place "city" was a good hint. It still is officially a "city". Its old Opera House still operates in the summer.

Sabredog is in command.

Well done sabredog. My main memory of that part of the world, apart from the lovely scenery, is the wonderful microbreweries, the only places in the USA where you can get beer that tastes (and works!) like beer.

Thank you,Gentleman. Here is a view of the "City" as it is today. Still very recognisable from Seacue's photograph.
I believe Hartington's original challenge (Japanese railway track diagram) is still open,and awaiting an answer?
Over to Hartington for control.
http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/mosquito633/centralcitycolorado10.jpg

Oops if I posted a challenge out of turn. Bad, bad.....

Mine at # 1749 is also still up for grabs (inadvertnely posted out of turn too!). I'm going to have a crack at the JNR diagramme after lunch.

I don't think anyone posted out of turn,Seacue.
Singaporcanac answered Hartington's challenge as Japan, and then declared "Open House"!! All very confusing.
Carpetonian, would your challenge be Owl Mountain,Sleeping Indian by chance?

Well if the Japanese challenge is still open, I'll just say Tateno station on the JR Kyushu line. The main train on that line is the Aso 1962. Line is between Kumamoto and Oita, and crosses the Aso caldera. Firstly, I know this, and secondly, much of it's written in the photo :-)

Open house, or whatever.

Carpetonian, would your challenge be Owl Mountain,Sleeping Indian by chance?

No, but you're on the right continent.

Neither Bali nor Hotel Seri Malaysia Melaka Ayer Keroh, Melaka,Malaysia.

There's clearly an oriental influence, but I suspect it's in a French, (or ex-French) speaking part of the world, possibly Indo-China. My reason for thinking this is really illogical so I'm not going to say what it unless I'm right!

Someplace on the Great Lakes. Probably not Chicago. Milwaukee???

Probably not Vis. That looks like a cruise liner tied up at the jetty which would indicate California or Florida or somesuch place.

Hint...it IS a cruise liner which has been sold and renamed fairly recently.

Longbeach, CA

My first thought was San Diego, but the coast looked wrong.

Excellent clue Fin. I can just make out the name but it's a little obscured by the mooring rope.

The new name is the Balmoral (Olson). That really IS a good clue,
because the route was popular and is now discontinued.

Are the dark blobs on a rectangular grid a bit inland oil storage tanks? A daily cruise from Ft Lauderdale to the Bahamas has recently been canceled ... but this certaintainly isn't Port Everglades and I can't find a suitable Bahamas pier.

Argentina .......................

Right continent, wrong country?

How about Punta Arenas, Chile?

Absolutely correct! Shot taken on departure from Punta Arenas for an overflight of Antarctica. The NCL Crown was sold sometime afterwards.

Well done, Tigger! I got as far south as Recife.:{

About time someone posted Neasden High Street. I didn't realise it was quite that bad, though.

Saudi Arabia?

Old Fort - the kasbah in Ouarzazate?

No to both I'm afraid. And to Neasden! Try a little further east

Walthamstow High Street??

Hmm, Jordan?

Bahra Fort, Oman?

What did the Romans ever do for us?

This is a tricky one. You don't suppose it is an archaeological dig in the middle of York, hmm?:ooh:

Clue please! :O

Sorry guys, locked in meetings all morning.

Think silk. And a tenuous connection with the island of Sardinia.

Well, if it was a town on one of the Silk Roads, (and there were at least two Silk Roads) then patient googling might find it.

I'm not that patient. it doesn't look like Kashgar, so I might give up. Not Hamadan either. Gaochang?

As to Sardinia, and the idea that a lot of folk from Aviation will have been there, I'm puzzled. Was it a stopover in the 30s?? maybe an Afghan/Iraq reference for the vets amongst us?

AO,

Some good deduction, and you have indeed introduced some more clues. So no more help for an hour or so. After that, I might relent.

TT

Citadel of Herat - a tad down the road from Walthamstow High Street.

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS8q53aoqSwXZs6WWPLgVvzkzNz8ebbJTq5R_atkrxpdwPw0tRD

Very well done Siseman! :D

Seen of course by many of our intrepid crews, both military and civilian, as they float around Western Afghanistan.

On the Silk Road network, which does/did indeed consist of a number of different routes.

Significance of Sardinia is that the Agha Khan has established his main home on the north-east of the island. He owns a very significant portion of the island! The Agha Khan Foundation for Culture is currently excavating and restoring the Herat Citadel.

Sorry Seacue. Not LA- told you you had to be careful :}

Pier 94, San Pedro Port,CA,U.S.A.

Not San Pedro Port (still classified as LA isn't it??). OK a clue - the pic was taken in October 2007

How about San Diego?

Siseman,that is interestings as the photograph below gives it's provenance as San Pedro! Back to the drawing board.
http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/mosquito633/atberth94-1.jpg

Seacue gave the correct answer.
My photograph was merely an addendum to prove that captions are sometimes incorrect. The picture was said to be of San Pedro, Berth94!

P.S., The photo is more than twenty years old and I didn't take it.

The colossal head sculptures of the Olmec (http://www.micahwright.com/olmec.htm) civilization. This civilization predates the Mayan and Aztec in modern day Mexico. During the reign of this group, artisans produced large scale heads, which many people now believe to be portraits of rulers of the Olmec (http://www.crystalinks.com/olmec.html).

Guessing??????

Sirikit Certainly Olmec, although the ears in your photo don't quite match. Close enough, as I don't know where the photo was taken. (I inherited it from someone who visited Mexico and elsewhere. Hmmm... Perhaps this is the forum to identify other photos.)

You have to love a web page with a link labeled:
Olmec Heads (http://micahwright.com/olmec/olmecs2.html)

Go To The Colossal Heads
Olmec Heads (http://micahwright.com/olmec/colossal.html)

with the disclaimer, "Remember, Olmec Heads are NOT a toy, small children should NOT be allowed to roll around their Olmec Heads without adult supervision."

Better than:
Go To The Colossal Egos
:rolleyes:

P.S., Upon more careful scrutiny of your link, it's probably the correct head and correct location.

P.P.S., It's Ms or Mrs. vis3, not Mr., although vis3 or miles works fine. :)

Don't be daft, Viz! Give me a break!

They have massive pigeons out there too. Does it all match up?

Correct. Says my message is too short.
So you are correct twice.

Don't be daft, Viz! Give me a break!

They have massive pigeons out there too. Does it all match up?

I'm missing your joke, thought, or point. I apologize. No offense intended.

The concept of massive pigeons gives me pause. As a young child, but old enough to remember, one planted something white and sticky directly on my head. Some people call them flying rats.

The concept of pigeons on the scale of the Olmec heads reminds me of the mythical Roc, and the unpleasant notion of getting droppings from that.

Very Easy one

I was standing on the beach at a place called Vik, I think I was on a different part of the coast, but the stacks look the same, well done. :ok:

The location where I took my piccie from is just below where the unpronouncable volcano beginning with E is,the one that disrupted aviation last year in Europe. Fascinating place, the locals there expect their community to be wiped out by the volcano and have grab bags and boots ready by their front doors at all times and have a Church to run and congregate in when the alarm is given.;)

Have you considered submitting this challenge to "Which Aerodrome MK II" in "Aviation History & Nostalgia"?

I trust that the BN2 Islander (?) at the opposite end of the runway, is not lining up for T/O?

No. Mainly because I didn't know the thread exists but, on reflection, it doesn't fit in nostalgia and history since it was taken 2 years ago.

And, no, the Islander at the far end has just landed, we followed it from beginning to end of flight.

U.S.A or Canada ?

New Zealand/India/Phillipines?

More like Scotland.

Or possibly Germany?

sisemen: check the bit above the ground. It's blue. Probably not Scotland. ;)

Nah. I've been in Scotland when it's been like that - honest guv.

Sirikit is in the right area.

"What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?

That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again."
A.E.Houseman.

Ryans Creek Aerodrome?

And Sisemen could be said to be providing a pointer.

Sabredog has it. To be honest I simply know it as the airstrip on Stewart Island (apparently once known as South Island when what we now know as New Zealands South Island was Middle Island) serving the village of Oban.

Open House

A bit of fun......

Thank you,Hartington,and apologies to Jet noseover.
At present, I have little of consequence to offer as a challenge,so;

Open House.

Central America (Mexico and on down), South America or South East Asia (Laos/Vietname etc)? My vote is Central America.

Xunantunich,Belize is correct.

Err, and the photograph is?

OK. While we wait for repairs on the post above, I'll give you the
location of this one---north shore of Bali.

My question is, what are those beasts? And I don't know the answer.
