Nvubu - if you had put your last (non-bird) one first I would have been much quicker off the mark.
Thank you Shackman.

How about Floyd Bennett

he was correct in that he found Brooklyn but he didn't name the airport... which you have done - I reckon its NVUBU but if you want to give it to DOOK that OK by me

There is what looks like a stage behind the group, something they'd be unlikely to find during their postings in North Africa or anywhere else. So the photo might have been taken at Sharpe Field, Tuskegee, Alabama, where they trained. OH if correct.

broadreach - I know you didn't. I did think about letting you carry on down the 99th route, but thought I wouldn't :)
I always check to see if my images exist on GI - these did, but are identified as in the 923rd - whereas my original docs have them to be in the 827Th, 829Th, 847Th. I did miss the Dereham times stating that the first one was a Eye though :(
This is the closest I can get them to an aircraft.

Dook, I suspect you've mis-identified the airfield in Post #12054. I would contend that it isn't Rechlin but Lechfield. The Me 262's depicted are captured examples operated by "Watson's Whizzers" on 10th June 1945, about to depart Lechfield for Cherbourg (via St Dizier and Melun). They were crated up there and shipped to the US.

Not on the eponym list, and no relevance to your other sporting examples. This sportsman, dead when field opened, was further renowned far from his homeland for his WW2 activities. One of his contemporaries, to whom he was a sporting mentor, found much greater sporting fame but less in his military role. That said, the contemporary knew a bit about 'stress.'

Good Morning Terry Dactil - your homing torpedo has hit the spot. Sangley Point it is (was), now known as Danilo Atienza Air Base.
The clue in the penultimate photo was the EC-121 wingtip, they operated out of there until it closed in 1971, but Sangley was the largest USN ASW base outside of the US at the time, with at least two resident P-3 Sqns (Cubi Bay was more for things off carriers).
The event was Ex Sea Rover, an annual SEATO ASW Ex, the format of which morphed into the Fincastle Trophy ( all Sqns operating from one base rather than the then competition of an adjudicating panel looking at results from different units and stations). Hopefully with the P-8 we will re-enter this excellent competition.
Over to you TD.
PS This was our 'score':

Your concrete battleship clue narrowed the search area considerably, and provided a fascinating piece of history as a diversion.

Was that hangar design British French or American? Seen in a number of WW1 images, starting with Rembercourt, which Wikipedia says was French until 2018, then US Army. But it was close to the German border so may not qualify for this challenge.
Edit: "Tent hangar", also "Bessonneau hangar" for what that's worth.

Yes, the troops are American.
Here's a better view of the aircraft.

2nd aircraft says "SOP" on the tail. Am just trying to organise a link to a larger version of the image - will be when I get home as I can't connect to my ftp site
Found another way - click here (http://www.nvubu.co.uk/pprune/20190207_17.jpg) for an larger image :D

Issoudun

Not Issoudun (I've had this as one of my challenges before) or Airfield Chateauroux - Villers.
Both these are slightly south of the one you are looking for.

Is the vertical shot oriented to North?
I keep thinking Romorantin but can't get a match
Romorantin is too far north.
We are not in central France :ok:
On the 2 aerials North is indicated with:

Not Saint Cyr en Bourg - Go East rather than West.
Yes, as far as La Valdahon as that is where we are. Over to you dook.

Thank you kindly. A great challenge once again.
I have little option but to call OH.

I have another one for you - I apologise for the quality but again it is the Far East:

Hopefully this won't take long. Although those who first looked at it would have had even more problems - My apologies for reversing the image. This should now be correct.

Can you check your image again?
There is now perfect left-right symmetry about the center line, and I can't imagine that being real.

As terry Dactil says, one half of the image does appear to mirror the other. I certainly can`t talk though, a lot of my internet work gets lost in cyber space, normally due personal finger trouble!
That said, as a wild card thought, Seletar possibly.

Butterworth? Nicely lined up despite the apparent visual effects of over-indulgence...OH if so!
