dook, thank you. Your first try, please?

[dook]

Still looking.

George Charles, St Lucia

[Self loading bear]

I also experience the image problems sometimes.
I think this might be related to image size and upload speed.
I have the problems from Iphone and not from wired internet on PC.

SLB

[dook]

You have an image problem Slb ? :E

[kenparry]

Discorde has it - first time hit!

SLB: thanks for the comment. The above photo is only about 250kb. I was using a wired PC. I think the problem is probably mostly me.

Did James Bond fly to there ?

Not New York kcockayne.

[JENKINS]

Chicago Midway?

[dook]

Chicago it is JENKS.

Your service.

[JENKINS]

Thanks. Absence of Stratocruiser sent me looking inland. Not sure if BOAC used the machine on the route, long old haul! Do I see Air France? My Midway memories are of a very different field.

OH I fear.

An interesting airfield with a maritime connection.. My task was to advise how to take it from analogue to digital.

[dook]

Garden Island ?

[mgahan]

There are several but this is not one of them.

I'll post another clue after the Reds tak on the Stormers on the road. .

MJG

[dook]

When you said maritime connection I immediately thought of naval air bases, but I can only find one in Australia.

Was it once French by any chance ?

[dook]

Oh dear !

You've left the answer in the file properties. :\

[Self loading bear]

One of the offshore helicopter bases?

[Discorde]

Kati Road?

(Anagrams not allowed (Rule 17(b). Nor is accessing file properties (Rule 34(f). Ed.)

[mgahan]

Sorry, fell asleep during the game!
It's a base for MP aircraft of a more modern type than expected.. Certainly not Australia - I had a few hour's flight and a couple of connections to get there. Here is one of them:​​​​​​​

[dook]

Africa...…….

[mgahan]

Correct continent.
So now I can show the analogue METAR delivery system and, to be fair, a wider shot of the airport.

Perhaps it's Takoradi.

And the maritime connection ?

[Self loading bear]

And the maritime connection ?


NHV H175 helicopters?

[mgahan]

Well done Dook. Besides the offshore support the maritime connection was the DA42 MP aircraft based there. Very capable if a little cramped.
Flew in via Accra on Starbow. Here's the tower and the rotating beacon to alert airport uses of arriving aircraft - note the siting: must be interesting at night.

[Self loading bear]

Corsairs in the back row and Hellcats in the front rows?

Not in the Pacific fighting area as they are clearly not suspecting an air raid!
country side does not match either.

[dook]

I think they are all carrier-based aircraft.

[kenparry]

Parked like that, perhaps a factory airfield rather than military?

[dook]

It's not a factory airfield, just one which sometimes handled a lot of naval aeroplanes.

Further clues available.

[JENKINS]

Start with West Coast, USN , Livermore?

MCAS El Toro?

No idea...….

Never thought to see this day.
Next clue later today (from home PC)

[dook]

"Never thought to see this day".

You have now.

I think a lot of people who don't know simply stay off-line and wait for someone else to ask questions.

I have done it and then had it stolen from me.

[JENKINS]

Eastern bloc, Ryanair destination. Note, statement rather than question, ho-ho.

[JENKINS]

Or maybe Wizz.

[kenparry]

Well, that narrows it down to about 500 places...………………………………..

[JENKINS]

Just my surmise Ken.

[Flap40]

I think that looks like the old terminal at Zagreb. OH if correct.

[Self loading bear]

Well Flap40 has hit the target.
The apron in front of the old terminal is used by Croatia airlines for their smaller airplanes.
Departure by transfer bus from the new terminal:

[JENKINS]

Stopped once at Zagreb for Avgas. Gentleman from Glasgow, masquerading as Air BP, provided the necessary.

The small building in the middle of this latest is talking to me, but not getting through yet.

[nvubu]

I'll open the bidding with Brooklands post WW1.

[dook]

It is indeed post WW1 but it's not Brooklands.

[Davidsoffice]

Is that a hangar on fire at the top of the photo?

[dook]

Yes, it is......

[nvubu]

How about Alexandra Park?

[dook]

Afraid not.

It lies SE of London.

[nvubu]

I don't think it is, but I'll try RAF Kenley

ETA, or maybe RAF Hawkinge

[Davidsoffice]

Ah, not just a hangar fire but a crashed aircraft. Hawkinge.
Open House

[dook]

And we're there. Hawkinge 1933.

Davidsoffice has called OH.

[nvubu]

I had edited my previous to add Hawkinge

before Davidsoffice post honest :)

[dook]

Apologies - I missed that.

Therefore the thread is all yours.

[nvubu]

I've done that a couple of times when the page has changed :)

Try this airfield

On first inspection it looks military..

Far east somewhere ?

[nvubu]

Yes to both.

[dook]

Vietnam ?

Or maybe WW2 Japanese.

[nvubu]

Yes to Vietnam and it wasn't built by the Japanese.

[dook]

So it's off to me 'ole map then.

Just about a hundred to investigate.

American ?

[nvubu]

Yes tis American

[dook]

I nb the mountains in the background.

Are we in the Da Lac area ?

[nvubu]

Not sure where Da Lac is, do you mean Da Lat?

[dook]

Apologies - yes.

[nvubu]

That's OK …… The answer is no :)

[dook]

Up near Tam Ky maybe.

[nvubu]

Tam Ky is closer than Dar Lat.

The reverse view may help
https://mhddoa.bn.files.1drv.com/y4mxnjf23osAh7dJ_C3Y9Wal8j38fYSTemhWITHnlMhCx6J8tYrfO75Qg53t 8iITZVv4DxyhPw8btYpmJCR7HdpNtmBUus0WJSWVMdbPvXO-wBL3S3sdoxKZ9St3qfZcKvU4u_OnhVFYzKx6FXNRHI_7PBh4OQV3IAaqzECZ Xw0HqGjrsTvymiQWTgY2h-go6l9nncU6Q3Y1wP9bltcTJLtXg?width=1024&height=771&cropmode=none

Phan Rang.

It isn't Phan Rang, dook is still closest with Tam Ky

[dook]

It looks like a long runway.

Chu Lai ?

[nvubu]

Not Chu Lai. Tam Ky is still the closest suggestion so far.

Measuring the runway on GE, Chu Lai is currently longer than the runway at the challenge - although I think the challenge has been extended a fair bit since these images.

[dook]

Qui Nhon ?

[lauriebe]

Phu Bai perhaps?

OH if correct.

[nvubu]

And dook has done it again, all the hard work, to be pipped at the post. :)

lauriebe hits the nail on the head, Phu Bai it is - here's an earlier image

:ugh::ugh:

[dook]

I don't see any non-regulars around except nvubu...

[dook]

Rolling again.

http://i67.tinypic.com/346ux5v.jpg

[nvubu]

Kelly Field?

[dook]

I can see why you suggest that, but we're not in Texas.

The challenge no longer exists as an airfield.

[nvubu]

I'm sure it is one of the flight training fields set up by the US Air Service in 1917. The tower is a fairly common feature.

[dook]

Correct on all counts.

[JENKINS]

Not Texas, so perhaps Payne Field?

[dook]

Not Mississippi.

[nvubu]

Could be Taylor Field (Alabama)

[dook]

Not Alabama either I'm afraid.

[JENKINS]

So let us try Florida, Carlstrom Field?

[dook]

Let us try Carlstrom Field indeed.

Please take the stage.

[JENKINS]

Thanks, a Chivenor equivalent perhaps?

OH for the time being.

[nvubu]

dook - if you haven't seen it, here 's a fantastic picture of Kelly Field from my challenge in Dec 2016, and if you click this link (http://www.nvubu.co.uk/pprune/kellyfield.jpg), you will get a larger (huge) image

Thank you nvubu.

Can you fill the OH ?

[nvubu]

Do you fancy a what aircraft carrier for a change?

[dook]

Why not indeed.

[nvubu]

OK, I'll start off with a couple of fairly generic views of this carrier. I don't think you will be able to get it from these, but it should narrow down the Navy.

[dook]

Yorktown maybe.

[nvubu]

It isn't the Yorktown, but like the Yorktown (CV-10) it was launched during WWII.

[dook]

So, an Essex class ?

Or maybe the training carrier Sable.

edit: not so sure about Sable though.

[Davidsoffice]

San Jacinto perhaps?

[dook]

Another shot - Cowpens ?

[JENKINS]

I had been looking for USS Hornet, relevant at the moment, so how about it?

[dook]

And I've also been looking at Intrepid.

[nvubu]

Blimey, lot of activity this afternoon

Don't need to answer No, No, Yes, No, No, as bang in the middle Davidsoffice has it with USS San Jacinto - CVL-30. President Bush senior served on this carrier. Interesting set of funnels.

Over to you Davidsoffice.

I'll do another carrier in the future.

[India Four Two]

I'll do another carrier in the future.

Assuming you win! ;)

[dook]

Or we get yet another OH, which I think is coming next.

[Davidsoffice]

Quite correct dook. I'll be scanning my pictures in soon, now that retirement beckons, so will be able to contribute... also free from restrictions on file transfer that the office places.

[dook]

I can thoroughly recommend retirement.

Now, who's got the next one I wonder.

Sand, guano, and a bit of granite I believe.

[Self loading bear]

Baja California?

[JENKINS]

Not quite California! This is an island.

[Self loading bear]

So is whole Australia!

[JENKINS]

Very good, yes, and lots of guano there I believe. However, not Australia, though several of my colleagues back then in 1975 were Australian, dare I say mercenaries, although 'contract' is more respectable.

[India Four Two]

Australian 'contract' pilots. How about PNG?

[JENKINS]

Not PNG, though doubtless some of my chums will have spent Caribou time there. This island a bit smaller.

[India Four Two]

How about moving southeast? The Solomon Islands?

[JENKINS]

I have flown in that area, but my island a very long way West of The Solomons.

[JENKINS]

And in a different hemisphere, where it is bed-time.

[lauriebe]

Looked Middle Eastern to me so started around that area.

Difficult to find as there was no marker indicating an airfield/airstrip at that location.

Could not find a name as you mention but think this is the small strip at the extreme western end of Al Hallaniyah Island off the Dhofar coast of southern Oman.

OH if correct.

[India Four Two]

And in a different hemisphere, where it is bed-time.

The Americas? North or South?

[JENKINS]

Good morning, and it is indeed that settlement in Oman, it being the largest inhabited settlement, apparently, on the Kuria Muria Islands. Failed telegraph station in Victorian times when a better line was established close to Khasab at the very North of Oman.

OH called.

[dook]

I'll start then.

Almost nothing to go on, but I'm looking at the hangars and what might be the fin of a Spad.

Are we in France ?

[Discorde]

Other side of the pond. Photo date 1925. The caption includes "National Guard hangars in foreground; air race hangars in distance". Today it's a 4-runway airport.

[dook]

Maybe Lambert Field, St Louis.

Yessir! Photo taken from the book "Spirit of St Louis", Lindbergh's account of his famous 1927 flight.

Over-informed guesswork leads me to Matilda Bay, WA

[dook]

Unfortunately not Washington.

[JENKINS]

Delightful spot close to Darwin, Doctor's Gully?

[Allan Lupton]

Unfortunately not Washington.

Who said Washington? I used WA as the abbreviation for Western Australia (as one does), so perhaps I've confused you.

[dook]

I now understand AG.

And to both of you - we're not in Australia.

[Allan Lupton]

Perhaps Koggala, Ceylon (as we called it then!)?

[dook]

Ah - a member of the old school. I still think of Bombay.

However, we are a long way from there.

[dook]

It is now my bedtime so I'll leave you all with fact that the closest so far is Darwin.

Possibly the seaplane base near Luganville on Espiritu Santo, New Hebrides, now known as Vanuatu.

[dook]

Maybe Zurich.

[Self loading bear]

When I count the dots in the circle, this photo is Post Brexit!
Back to the future!

[India Four Two]

Unied States?

[dook]

Yes indeed.

[dook]

Good grief.

Only one question in 24 hours. Where is everyone.

[Self loading bear]

I think we need some clue or another photo

[dook]

Well, I have simply been waiting for questions asking for clues.

Please give me a few minutes.

[dook]

It's a northern USA state close to Canada and closed about 2006.

Here is a GE image.

[dook]

Look around the Great Lakes...…..

[Self loading bear]

Standish city airport Michigan.
OH if correct

SLB

[dook]

SLB shoots a winner - Standish it is.

OH has been called.

[dook]

This looks like fun. :)

[descol]

PNG - perhaps Madang !

[Discorde]

Long way away from PNG. Apologies for poor pic quality - taken on a cheap camera in 1998.

[Checklist Charlie]

How about PPT in Tahiti

CC

[dook]

I think it's N registered, so America ?

I have tried to decipher the airline name, which could be Tol Air.

[Discorde]

Long way away from PPT.

Not US of A but getting closer.

[dook]

OK then.

If it is Tol Air, how about South America.

[Discorde]

Between the two Americas.

[Discorde]

Here's a better pic:

[dook]

British Virgin Islands ?

[dook]

Cyril E King airport ?

[Discorde]

:ok: dook! Can't remember the name of the Doug operator.

[dook]

Well, I enhanced it and it looks like Tol Air with the logo in the middle.

Standby.....

[JENKINS]

Van Nuys Airport?

[dook]

My challenge has disappeared !

Not Van Nuys JK but you are a stones throw away......

[JENKINS]

I 'hope' the stones throw may be but 9 miles to Burbank?

[dook]

Throw the stone a little harder about 23 miles.

The airfield isn't there any more.

[JENKINS]

That took some doing. North American at Downey. I had been thinking along fire-bomber lines.

[dook]

It was actually Vultee but you've found it at Downey - well done.

[JENKINS]

Thanks. NA took over after WW2, building there the Savage. A nuclear bomber! Is the closest single a Navion before Ryan took over the manufacture?

OH at the moment I regret.

[dook]

It is indeed a Navion.

[JENKINS]

So, unopen the house, and how about this? Had a good lunch down-town on my only visit, which was in an Aztec.

[jensdad]

Some unusual-looking dispersals (?) at upper right. Similar to some I've seen in Sweden... could it be in that fair country?

[JENKINS]

Not Sweden.

[dook]

Or Germany ?

[JENKINS]

Nor Germany.

[dook]

Is it an idea to go west of Germany ?

[sycamore]

Must be France,M`sieu..? old NATO airfield..?

[JENKINS]

Yes to Dook and Sycamore, but not a former NATO field.

[JENKINS]

Bed time! 303 miles, not straight, from the target.

[lauriebe]

Took a bit of finding. St Aubin, Dieppe by any chance?

OH if correct.

[JENKINS]

Spot on, Dieppe. Entertained to lunch by airport manager.

OH declared.

[dook]

What a quiet day.

[dash7fan]

As OH:

[dook]

Since you're in Austria I suspect not too far away.

[dash7fan]

You are correct

[dook]

Do large aeroplanes also use it ?

[Self loading bear]

Oops
back to specsavers
not australia

Looks like agricultural cultivated trees on the hills.
To large for grapes,
kiwi’s
or lemons?

[dash7fan]

Up to B 747, but not very often.

[dook]

Innsbruck ?

[Dora-9]

It's an Aero Commander!

[dash7fan]

SlB, no Grapes, just normal wood

[dash7fan]

Ist an Aero Commander 500, but not Innsbruck.

[JENKINS]

City in the distance, Graz?

[dash7fan]

Yes Jenkins, it is Graz LOWG 1963. Your control.

[JENKINS]

Thanks. An infrequent but always enjoyable night stop in Islander aircraft.

OH please.

[WIDN62]

I seem to have lost the ability to upload photos. They start uploading but stop at 50%. Any simple ways of doing an upload?
