Which Aerodrome?

[RETDPI]

Oh, Those Airship Hangars!!!!!!

Tears fill my eyes.


But is it Lakehurst???? Or Recife???


Certainly not Cardington.

[LFT]

Far too easy, Lakehurst it is

[The Real Slim Shady]

Definitely Lakehurst

[RETDPI]

Airship Hangars 5 and 6 it would appear.


How about Hangar 1??


Now there's a thing.

Is Recife the one in Brazil about 50 miles west of Rio?

[RETDPI]

Recife is , as you correctly say , in Brazil.
It is way up the coast from Rio at the Top-Right hand Corner of Brazil where the Atlantic is at its most narrow. Thus a logical landfall for traffic coming down from Europe along the West African Coast. Almost a straight line if you look at a globe.Then its a another 2000k to Rio , following the coast, again almost all in a fairly straight line.

Are we awaiting a new challenge from RETDPI?

[chevvron]

We were on an excursion to a lagoon west of Rio, and I could see from the coach to the south of the main road what I took to be a pair of airship sheds about 50 miles from Rio.
Looking on Flashearth, there's a military airfield near a town called Santa Cruz posn 22 deg 55' 48.2" S 43 deg 45' 6.5" W which has one airship shed, so where I got two from I don't know!!

[RETDPI]

For some time I wondered if I was getting confused with Sunnyvale California, which has these ( Quickbird image, note the C130's and S60s)
I presume they are the old Akron and Macon sheds.



Ah well ! An interesting little diversion between challenges.

Don't think it was him - and not to worry BAMRA. We've had a small hiccup with my stealth post, apologies. Here is the next challenge - taken in 1983.

[sycamore]

All right,gizza clue,N,S,E,W,hot/cold ?

[chevvron]

Funny I seem to have seen that picture before!

[Background Noise]

Was it further up the page? It is west of here and still active.

[Duckbutt]

By "here" do you mean west of the UK?

[chevvron]

Vague similarity (just vague) to Shannon.

[Background Noise]

OK - to move it on, West of the Atlantic. N America in fact. Further picture clue to follow if required.

[chevvron]

Plethora of runways = USA
Airfield name on taxiway at right centre 7 letters
Surrounded by arable farm land
Threshold of runway 17 at mid right therefore photo taken pointing east

[Background Noise]

Right on almost everything. The word on the taxiway, is 'taxiway'. There's yet another runway there now.

[PaperTiger]

Is that a C-130 "gate guardian" ?

[Background Noise]

There were a number of aircraft on sticks - the others, and there are plenty, around the base were for technical training.
