I'm not quite sure from his post whether Phileas Fogg has agreed that Skaebrae was posted before, and therefore that "open house" is retained.

I can assure any viewers herein that the photograph posted is indeed Skaebrae, and not Twatt, having landed a fixed wing at both earlier on this year.

Regards,
Russell

Yes, I agreed the previous was Skaebrae, I offered explanation to not receive a 'flaming' for posting an airfield that had, very recently, previously been posted.

dash7fan, I reckon you're right; however, I'm wondering what the clue, Buick, has to do with Oshawa? I'm obviously not thinking laterally enough for the clue to work for me... I'm not that good at crosswords either; hence, that's probably the reason why!

GM is starting/started making Buick Oshawas (a SUV?) in their Oshawa plant..... Too new a piece of news to hit Wikipedia's Buick page .

CORRECTION: 2011 Buick Regal to be built at the Oshawa Car Assembly Plant

dash7fan is correct. Oshawa (CYOO) was home to BCATP RCAF No.20 EFTS, flying Tiger Moths, from 1941 to 1944. The Buick reference was to Col. Sam McLaughlin, a carriage maker by trade who worked with William Durant of Buick, and later General Motors, to make the famed McLaughlin-Buick in Oshawa. The city is home to General Motors Canada, and the airport supports a large number of GM and other automotive industry related corporate air traffic. You have control.

Shorts. No kilts or Scots, although dad's mum was a Scot who felt all her grandchildren only wanted socks for Christmas. The guy in the second row from the front, third from the right and yes, it's "hide the Tiger Moth".

T.

A well inspired guess. This place started life as a 1/4 mile dragstrip in 1947.
But not in Sweden.
