Mr G does it again! Welschap air base, Einhoven. Not too difficult to find I suspect but I was totally impressed with that photo showing the instructor's position. Wonder if Mr O'Leary has seen that?

Mr Grubby has control.

I'm guessing somewhere in the Southwestern US, or up as far north as Colorado?

On closer inspection, is that water in the background of the picture?

If so, I'm changing my question.

SMOKEON.

Correct. Borkum Island. Largest of the East Frisian Islands North West Germany. The Freda aerials are a big clue.

Open house then as you have said.
