Duckbutt is correct Bonames-Frankfurt. Home of the U.S. Army's 5th Battalion, 158th Aviation Regiment and 503rd Aviation Company. I think the base closed in 1992.

You have control.

You're far too good at this Mr 'dog! Still it lasted over an hour.

Over to you.

Well that definately looks like a USA, but in UK, control tower, I'm sure I recognise it but cannot be sure from where, so I'll guess at Lakenheath having driven down that road from Brandon many a time

Sabredog

And I thought I was the only ex-LATCC who flew Sabres---or is it just a name?

Shack,please check your P.M.s.
Gentlemen,may we draw a line under this? It's becoming almost a "chat room",and diverging somewhat from the main thread.
P.S . I agree with Phileas Fogg that it could be R.A.F Lakenheath.

Looks like Greenham Common. The tower is still there and some of the trees but not the buildings.

OK, time for a little hint, so far four, very well educated, attempts, but none correct yet. ??
57.08
31.36
67.52
134.06
These are the distance in UK miles that each attempt is from the target (as the crow flies) (straight line) but not necessarly in the same order ???
Keith !
