Which Aerodrome Mk II

[Ridge Runner]

Actually, having receied Kastrup's history, it was more advanced at this stage in its life.... By 1939 it had three runways and a new terminal. I can't find any pics of it though!

Having now reviewed images it would be Kastrup for me.. well done again Skytrain10 (assuming we're right!)

Kastrup it is. Around 1926. Here are two more pictures from the same set of contemporary images from Danish carrier DDL , showing one of their Fokker F.Vii 's plus another of KLM.

On the original of the air-view you can make out the name Rohrbach on the hangar, identifying use by this German manufacturer-in-exile.

That one seemed to justify the title "challenge"

Congratulations Skytrain10 and Ridge Runner - something of a team effort maybe but Sktrain10 was first and gets control

[Ridge Runner]

Nice one......!

[skytrain10]

Thanks Doug...in fairness Ridge Runner did much of the hard work...I just jumped in by a process of elimination!

Anyway, my first posting...I guess this wont last long?

Looks like Bardufoss to me, either from half way up the hill on approach, or on short finals on the easterly runway.

It is indeed Bardufoss....with a MyTravel A330 departing. No doubt on a NATO/MOD flight.

You have the con NATOPotato

Thanks for that one, I was there a few weeks ago so it didn't take long to recognise it. I'm 'on the road' at the moment and have no piccies with me, therefore,

I have great memories from there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skytrain10]

We used to operate charters for the Norwegian MOD into there....a grim place when the weather is bad!

Now you have learnt how to post pictures, as a next step why don't you try to find out how to resize them to the recommended 800 x 600 so that they can be viewed a little more comfortably?

[Ridge Runner]

Oh dear... sorry! Yes, I know how.... 800x400(not 600) as requested

[Duckbutt]

Keep going, I realise you are trying.

[skytrain10]

Looks like Ushuaia?

[Ridge Runner]

Well done Skytrain10! I guess its fairly unique alongside the Beagle Channel. Approach and departure are very interesting there!!!! We went in by MD80 and out by 737-200, both of which use most ofthe runway length. Appaent the old airport, which was on the area close to the town in this image, suffered an overun by a 737 at one time!

Over to you....

[skytrain10]

Thanks RidgeRunner...we actually put a 747 in there some years ago. Sadly I did not have the opportunity to travel on it. Stunning location though.

And talking of which, lets see how long this one lasts:

[Ridge Runner]

a 747 on to that strip! Wow! Clearly it made it out and it must have be amazing to see!

[Mr_Grubby]

I hope Ridge Runner wont mind if I intrude on his forum, but I think it could be Kodiak, Alaska.

Grubby.

[skytrain10]

Well done Mr Grubby...it is indeed Kodiak. Over to you.

[Mr_Grubby]

I have nothing to offer so best hand it over to the Ridge Runner.
