Which Aerodrome?

[nacluv]

Thanks, S'land. Even harder to reconcile the imagery now! Shame that the Earharts, Lindberghs and Roosevelt Jnrs now have a bloody great shopping mall to commemorate their efforts...

I'll be back with a new challenge soon.

[nacluv]

OK - try this one. I used to live about 2 miles from this place back in my mid-distance past.

[chevvron]

I'll kick off with Chilbolton.

[nacluv]

In the best Roy Walker tradition - "it's a good answer, but it's not right!" Not Chilbolton, I'm afraid.

Think it's a fighter base due blister hangars and fighter type blast pens/dispersals. Main Hangars look black, prob T2s. I would say UK. Intriguing....Long long shot - Atcham in Shropshire?

[WebPilot]

Direct hit on Atcham, I'd say.

Cunningly turned upside down in the shot :-)

[nacluv]

Indeed - direct hit sir!

Well done - my cunning ploy to rotate the picture was sure to be found out sooner or later. And yes, the black blobs are indeed T2s.

Atcham, in 1946 I believe, just down the road from me a few years ago: the road specifically being the B4394, which these days runs down the lower half of the NE/SW runway. Shame so little now remains...

Sid - you have control!

Picture taken on 6th May 1946 - at a guess......

Doh! 9th May!

[nacluv]

9th May 1946, actually...

You found it on Wikipedia too, eh?

[sidtheesexist]

Nacluv - thank you. Open house folks!

[Phileas Fogg]

This one shouldn't be too difficult:

[chevvron]

Chipping Warden?

[Phileas Fogg]

Not Chipping Warden

[Flap40]

How about Beccles?

[Phileas Fogg]

I knew it wouldn't last long, Beccles it is, an active airfield despite it's appearance!

[Flap40]

Many thanks.

Try this one.

[flyingwing]

Montford Bridge (Forton)

[Flap40]

Didn't last long!

Your turn.

[flyingwing]

Thanks. It helps when you fly over it regularly. Here's another that I think is straightforward.
