Would it be H St.F,aka Naaritch.?

[WATB]

Woolsington/Newcastle?

[Mr_Grubby]

No.

Another big clue to hopefully wrap this up and allow us to move on.

This aerodrome was opened in April 1939 as an RAF station.
After WW2 it became a Civil Airport.
BKS operated the first schedual service in May '53 to Northolt using a DC 3.
Towards the end of 1956 the men of steel took over.
Today little remains of the original site as it is heavily industrialised.

There, that should do it !!!!! I have given it away !!!

Greatham Airport, West Hartlepool?

Open House if correct.

[Mr_Grubby]

Dave,

Yes !!! well done. Greatham, West Hartlepool. Now a CORUS steel plant.

That was painful !!! but we got there in the end.

So as you say, open house.

Try this one

As it's open house, try this one:

[PaperTiger]

Prince Rupert (CYPR) ?

[TheChitterneFlyer]

Not Prince Rupert.

[TheChitterneFlyer]

Not Prince Rupert.

[chevvron]

If that's a C5, it must be a bl@@dy big runway!!(Non standard markings too-could it be a Shuttle Eemergency runway?))

[Ridge Runner]

its clearly an IL76 mate

[TheChitterneFlyer]

This most certainly wouldn't be an Emergency Shuttle Landing facility!

[Davidsoffice]

tanker version too.
So, is the field in the former Soviet Union?

[PaperTiger]

its clearly an IL76 mate

Well it's clear now, looked like a BAe 146 last night although that might have been due to the 'Jameson Factor'.

[descol]

Q.
How much Jameson does it take to confuse an BAe 146 and an IL76 ????

[PaperTiger]

3 fingers if you're looking up its ar$e !
