Which Aerodrome Mk II

[seacue]

Those rugged snow-capped mountains in the background can't be eastern USA. Also, trees are not conifers.

Could possibly be California. Maybe not too far from Fresno, but where is the agriculture?

[goudie]

Very warm Seacue, you and the locality!

[grizzled]

Hmmm . . . That sure looks like one of the westcoast's line of old volcanoes in the background (Hood, Shasta, Rainier, Baker . . etc).

I'm googling . . . .

Redding, California. Redding Municipal Airport, KRDD.

'Bingo' it is evensb, you have control

Thank you. Here is the next challenge:

[TheChitterneFlyer]

I'm taking a guess at Calshot.

TCF

[evansb]

Sorry, TCF, not Calshot. Not England.

The aircraft I believe are Curtis HS-2s.

Is it on the East coast of USA, say, New Jersey?

[MReyn24050]

Naval Air Station Halifax possibly?
Mel

[MReyn24050]

If not Halifax then possibly a US NAS at Brest France.

[evansb]

Mel, the aircraft are U.S. Navy Curtiss HS-1s. Sorry, not Brest, France but very, very close. The concrete dock is still visible on Google Earth.

Īle Longue ....Rostellec?

[evansb]

Sorry, not Ile Longue, Rostellec. Go nord.

[goudie]

Ile de Batz.............Roscoff

[evansb]

Sorry, not Ile de Batz. Too far nord.

L'Aber Vrach US NAS October 1918
OPEN HOUSE if correct

[evansb]

handsfree is correct. The aircraft were part of the American Expeditionary Force, and were flown by U.S. Marine Corps pilots, most of whom were former U.S. Navy Reserve pilots eager for action. The photo was taken 91 years ago, on October, 1918.
