With no advance on your tentative identification of Rotterdam, Merlinxx - you have control.

It is Rotterdam. By the profusion of Continental Air Services Vikings + a DC-4 it must be 1959/60 when that short-lived outfit was active. Autair Vikings and a Starways DC-3 can also be seen. The Viscount looks like an 800 so maybe KLM but who knows................

According to the Harvard Bible 20251 was at 4FTS Gimli. The tower seems too big for an FTS on the prairies. I will try Centralia

Thanks Bri, As handsfree was correct, and has stated 'nothing to offer' I assume its OPEN HOUSE ? could I challenge your collected knowledge with this easy post ? Keith.

Muckleburgh (Weybourne)?

Open House if correct.

Dave

Edit;

During WW11 Weybourne Camp was one of the main Anti-Aircraft Artillery live training ranges. It is now the site of a museum housing the Muckleburgh Collection, the largest privately-owned collection of tanks, armoured cars and other military vehicles in the world.

Captain Airclues Muckleburgh it is I have also heard it referred to as Weybourne Camp ? I thought by cropping out the buildings and view of aircraft would make it harder ! that didn't work !
So Captain Airclues has nothing to offer at the mo, so its OPEN HOUSE.

Keith.

Removed

Given that:

a. There have been no suggestions as to which airport it is.
b. I have to, unexpectedely go away for 4 days; and
c. PPRuNe is becoming increasingly difficult to log into (at least from here),

I have removed the photo for the time being.

Open house.

Well, as Minimbah has had to pull out, hope all is ok ? and as this one does not appear in Mel's supurb listing (shocked at that !)
Please try another of my very easy posts ?

I think this will last more than nine minutes if only because of the time difference.Photo from 1985.

I don't know this but let's kick it off anyway...
The aircraft on the grass is a Caribou so for no other reason I'm going for Cuatro Vientos!

Looks a lot different now...looking at Google Maps! I visited the superb Air Force museum on the airfield in the early 80s but really identifying the airfield was nothing more than a guess but based on that Caribou!

Nothing to post so Open House!
