Hmmm....I could be wrong. Is the airport locatable with a map that has a good scale and a pair of dividers?

If I'm wrong, kick me up the arse and make it open house!

Caption says no mate. Should I just reveal the location and see if the sign is right?

I'll say it's in Nairobi, based on the smaller among those distances.
Since those might be road distances there could be major inaccuracies over long distances.



See? much better now...

Airframe should be VH-ANG...
Could I venture into saying that the airfield might be Essendon?

Sabredog. Got it one and I thought that this would run for a bit.

Open House as Sabredog says.

Yep, that one!
A short hop south of the Merimbula airport, near a scenic inlet.
Beautiful place, if you ask me.
