Oops
RR.
Looks like Double Hydco has removed his challenge so it must be Open House again.

No Double Hydco is struggling with technology today. This isn't the my original challenge, but let's see if this works? DH

Kirk, I think the aerodrome is called Queenstown. ICAO airport location identifier NZQN.
Location: 45 Deg., 1' 16"S,; 168 Deg., 44' 21" E.

Best regards,

Bri

Bri, you are correct it is Queenstown, NZ.

It's a great airport with a nice mix of types (P51 to A320 when we visited) in a stunning location.

All yours, DH

Thank you DH. As Ciarain located the correct island, I would like to pass the baton over to him.

Okay, as some time has passed, I'll submit this "Which Aerodrome?":

If so, what's the year of your photo, Bri?

Yes, Russ, it is Nympsfield, Photo taken from "The Aeroplane" December, 1954. You have control.

Thanks, Bri. Nympsfield was one of my old stomping grounds (but not that long ago!)

Here's the next submission:

How about Maule's field at Moultrie, GA? It's conveniently obscured by cloud on the current Google Earth so I could't veryfy it, but I know they maintain a stretch of water alongside the runway for floatplanes.

The continent is correct but the country is not.

Isn't it frustrating when you can't find the place yet an airfield beside a major river should be so easy to find....
So I'll go for Schachtholm by the Kiel Canal.

It is indeed Vilshofen, right on the Danube. It's a very nice town across the river from the airfield.

I think the baton passes to skytrain10, since you mentioned the aerodrome specifically. Well done, over to you.
