flap40,

I never would have guessed that airfield was in England and yet I've actually driven on that road that runs from SE to N over the airfield. Didn't even notice it!

Flap40 has it - it is indeed Stoney Cross in the New Forest.

You have the wheel.

The first name that springs to mind is:

Barrow (Walney Island)

That's correct.

The floor is yours.

Unable to find my collection of photos, and unfortunately Background Noise is unable to fill in for me, and to avoid upsetting folk by calling Open House, I have trawled the Internet and found this:


I will be taking the location of the photograph as stated on the page I found it.

I think you will find that one has been done before. Recommend you have another go at posting one or open the floor.

Cheers!

Oops, Thanks for that, I missed this one first time around.

Screech away, as I am sure you will be happy to note that although the properties say 'Creech_AFB', this runway belonged to Dorado Auxilliary airdrome in Peurto Rico.

To save time - OPEN HOUSE.

To be fair to ZH785, the link to the list of aerodromes already done does not appear to be working, plus the previous picture of this aerodrome also appears to have been removed from the previous posters picture hosting site.

There is nothing in Seacue's original rules to say that an aerodrome cannot be done more than once, although I expect that using the same picture would not be welcomed.

In this case, there is no way of checking the original picture posted, so I would say the submission was a valid one.

I think the list is 99.44% correct. Dorado Beach was listed as being posted on April 14th of this year, a mere 2 months ago.

Gents, it's a Hands Up, I did not check the list, and I am guilty as charged, laziness is my only defence.


Now if we can continue with evansb's picture.

No need to roll your eyes Evansb. I am sure the list is 100% correct at the time it is updated.

However, if you actually read my post, I said the link to the list (which is in Post #1) is not working. Click on it and see what you get ... I get ''Sorry, the page you requested was not found.'' If there is another list you are using, this can be added to the original post so that people have an easy reference to look at. If however it is buried somewhere in the middle of this thread, then it's not a lot of use.

Try the link below, let me know what you get.

What Cockpit and What Aerodrome Lists.

PPRuNe Radar the list at Post #1 is out of date as I do not have access to it. However, I published a seperate thread which contains the latest What Cockpit and What Aerodrome challenges posted. I update these lists each month, sometimes twice a month depending on the number of new challenges posted . Unfortunately, as with all threads, it slips down the page as posts to existing threads and new threads are posted. Would it be possible to make "What Cockpit and What Aerodrome Lists" a sticky?

ZH875; sorry mate; wasn't trying to be clever.

Looks like a great place to be though!
