Which Aerodrome Mk III
 

I believe that twochai has the floor.

Sorry for the delay, I'll be back as soon as I locate a suitable challenge. However, if anybody has anything ready to go - OPEN HOUSE!

Here is a permalink to Which Aerodrome Mk II http://www.pprune.org/aviation-histo...ml#post6618531

…and here to the original Which Aerodrome ? (Mk I) http://www.pprune.org/aviation-histo...ml#post4909881

Just to help following up…...

Okay, here is a mystery locale:

OK....I'll start......North America?

Dave

No. A careful look at the architecture may assist in determining the locale.

I think it might be Germany. Anywhere near Freidrichshafen?

Aveiro Aerodrome

Established in 1917 as a French Hydroplane Base with Portuguese support the Military facility of São Jacinto, Portugal. Judging from GiggleEarth, most of the buildings are still there. 40° 39' 30" N 08° 44' 00 W

RegDep is correct. San Jacinto, Portugal it is! Yes, several structures still stand. Well done. Your turn.

No idea where it is, but I don't like the look of that crosswind!

Dave

They themselves described it: "Although, again this year, we had the Weather Gods not necessarily sympathetic, at least it was mostly dry."

950 aircraft movements, nevertheless, they say. But I don't know if the A380 fly-by counts in or not…..

Must be `im Deutschland`..?

Tannkosh Fly-In 2008 (Tannheim)

Correct sabredog, Tannheim Airport, Tankosh Fly-in (but I think 2010, the weather was bad again)

Over to you :ok:

Thank you,Regdep.
The next challenge;

Is this "Which Aerodrome" or "Which housing development"?

I can see three (ex) runways there. Not a clue where it is though.

Dave

Gentleman,
Not wishing to inadvertently stall this thread,and as it now transpires that there is some doubt over the exact name/location of the Airpark, I shall withdraw this challenge and declare;
"Open House".
With apologies.

...but roughly where did you think it was? It's a very intriguing challenge!

Thank you for your interest,Spook.
Originally, it was captioned as an Airpark near San Luis Obispo,California. On further investigation to provide clues ,I could not find it under that designation, only the Regional airport. Rather than cause a further delay and possible controversy, I thought the best course of action would be to declare it void and start again. Still reseaching it though!

How about "Silver Springs", but probably not in Nevada or Arizona? Or what do you think sabredog?

Silver Springs is a strong contender,Regdep. But the odd shaped hardstandings/pans/dispersals appear to be missing, but everything else appears to fit.
On that assumption,Regdep. You have control.

Well, it has to be OH. I thought the "hardstandings" in the picture were, in fact, cul-de-sacs of the streets that had been pre-paved before the housing construction starts…..

Thought it more likely to be a heliport...

If its OH then, what about this:

Tresco Sea Plane Base.

Sabredog has it and control.

Thank you,DB.
Open House.

Good detection sabre - you have the stone

Thank you,Jindabyne. A very good first contribution to the thread.
Open House.

Not sure if the camouflage was unique to this Base, but here goes...

Thank you,Noyade. The squadron codes were a good clue!
Still;
Open House.
