RegDep.

Yes indeed it's La Serena. Originaly posted by Duckbutt as Airport La Florida, Chile. Quite correct.
Hence the confusion. Same place.

A country much in the news at the moment unfortunatley.

RegDep over to you.

Well done, Mr. G. I thought it might last a bit longer since I had deleted the "KANS AIR GUARD" from the nose of the B-57.

Over to you.

The Canberra is a real "Red Herring" as it is one of the very early B-57s built by the American Martin Company. It still retains the bubble canopy as per the original R.A.F.Canberras.

The following Mks were built with a fighter type canopy, with tandem crew seating, which is the type generally associated with the B-57.


Open house.

Yet the tail number 21467 (of which I42 forgot to erase 67) should tell that it is USAF, no?

descol,

Please excuse the diversion from your new picture, but here's the original of the Hutchinson photo. As you can see, it would have been a bit obvious:



but as RegDep pointed out in a PM, in spite of my hamfisted attempts to erase the markings, I completely missed the 67 on the tip tank!

Back to the thread, I don't have a clue where the new airfield is.

Somehow the thought that the challenge would be Prestwick haunts me.

To me, the 'old' taxiways and parking circles indicate europe or possibly north Africa, but the 'new build' ramps and lack of a terminal building indicates miltary in the US style. Looks like a small runway at top left, and a coast at top right.

OK well with swampy looking land, I go with Clive when he says Florida; how about a fledgling Orlando/Sanford? (Course it could be Mississippi bayou instead of Florida Everglade)
