My apologies for the delay in response. I hate doing it but I have to declare open house.

Hello Pigboat
You obviously know this aircraft. Did you fly it ? I worked on it at Kenting 1980-1986. I hear its on its way back to the US from Lee-on-Solent. A fine aircraft!

Daviator01,

starboard engine was run (with no problems) yesterday for the first time in 7 years when Chuck and crew brought her from Duxford.

Greenham Common?

Could it be Honington? Or maybe Sylt?

Not Coningsby. Picture was taken in the late 80s.

Clue: if the main picture was taken looking say North and West ( which it wasn't that would be too much of clue) this picture is of the same place and would have been taken looking south and west at almost a 45 degree bisect.
