Which Aerodrome Mk II

[sabredog]

Corsairoz.
To the best of my knowledge, the airfield/airport is not a rebuild.
Having looked on Google Earth, I cannot see any buildings/lodges of any significance close by. It is a County Airport within a State.

Who the heck is Paul Freeman ??

[sabredog]

Mr.Grubby.
Mr.Paul Freeman has an interesting site which relates to "Abandoned and Little known Airfields" of the U.S.A. He appears not to have Andrews Field listed for Nevada.

[Mr_Grubby]

Thank you sabredog for the explanation. I will be forever in your debt.

But are we talking Anderson Field here or Anderews Field ?

C.

[sabredog]

Apologies,Mr.Grubby.
I was refering to your last challenge;
Anderson Field (Rockwell Field) ,Nevada, not Andrewsfield,U.K.

Looking at the terrain and flora I would move further North into Canada.

Corsairoz, for future reference, if that runway was in Canada, it would be "02"

sd, somewhere in New England?

[Corsairoz]

Thanks.

'Enthusiastic amateur' usually fits me well.

I have scoured New England...top to bottom. Still, kept me away from the real work.....

[sabredog]

Not New England,Simon, but an East Coast State with an Atlantic seaboard, with strong Civil War connections.

[Mr_Grubby]

Is it in South Carolina ?

The conection to the Civil War being Fort Sumter ?

C.

[sabredog]

Not North or South Carolina,Mr.Grubby. Go further north.

[Corsairoz]

So far I have found Lee County Airport (Robert E Lee), and Union County Airport, both in Virginia.

Both fit the clue...neither fit the picture. Onwards....


Edit: and then...... Gotcha !!! Lunenburg County Airport, Virginia......

[sabredog]

Well done,Corsairoz. Great display of perseverence.

[Corsairoz]

Phew..I was determined on that one.

OK, I have checked and this one does not seem to have been covered. Probably won't last long though.....

[Mr_Grubby]

Italy ?

C.

[Corsairoz]

Mr_Grubby, Italy is correct..... I'd love to know how that conclusion was reached though.....

[Mr_Grubby]

Corsairoz.

Easy, I like Italian food.

[Mr_Grubby]

Do they make cars here ?

C.

[Corsairoz]

Well, its a distance from Maranello.....and car manufacture is not the first thing that springs to mind.....

Indeed cars might not be needed with TGV's thundering past on those train tracks.......

Although there is a racing historical link.

LIRU Roma Urbe
