Not a glider then, can I opt for a parachute centre?

Based upon the cabin appearance of the light aircraft on the ground and the concrete disc (LZ?)

UK > Lincs or East Anglia, based upon a lack of terrain.

That's an excellent list, MReyn...I've downloaded it as an Excel spreadsheet, and a .txt file (both downloadable and more easily searchable).

Thanks for your hard work producing the list, and very well done for adding the page on here where it can be found.

Russell.

You are more than welcome. As a matter of interest the following are all drawing as leaders in identifying the airfield presented on "What Aerodrome" :-Tiger_mate,evansb and Flap40 each with 22 identified.*
Provided I keep it up to date every so often it is not too difficult to maintain,I try to update the list each month.

*As an after thought I hope that doesnt put people off taking part. If so I will not monitor such information in future.

Indeed. I've been a lurker throughout the whole thread, but have only recently taken an active part.

Let's keep it up, it's one of the better threads on PPRuNe. IMHO, of course.

The list quotes 'Amsterdam Sciphol Holland' ...

Firstly it's Schiphol and secondly there ain't no such country as Holland

Thanks for the correction. I do apologise if I have offended you, tulips from Amsterdam always came from Holland when I went to school. it has been changed accordingly.

Both are correct. Schiphol lies in the province of North Holland which is part of the Netherlands.

Captain Airclues has it in one. The picture was taken by my mother on a flight from Diego Suarez in the latter half of 1970 while the airport was still under construction. I was there that December and I remember a US Albatros (0-17163) landing in the sea beside the runway and taxying up to the apron afterwards with mail and supplies for the US Satellite tracking station there.
Over to you Captain Airclues.
