The city does start with a "T" and is spelt out illegibly in the centre of the picture

Can't find any contemporary photos of it but how about Turku Artukainen in 1935. Finlands first civil airport.

Thanks the one, Handsfree, the picture was from Janes 1938 (reprint version) where it is titled Turku-Abo and its new runways. Turku is just detectable on the original spelt out in the centre of the field. Well that one had a good run and a good mix of players. You have control.............Doug

A straightforward one - not least because of the runway layout.

With great embarrisment, I find that the challenge that I was so looking forward to presenting has been previously done. I do not have an alternative readily at hand.

Open house.

Sorry for the delay Tack. I'm "on the road" and trying to reply from my blackberry! Being an Old Fart
with barely opposable thumbs, this may be completely unreadable. It certainly is to me . . .
In any event, your sense of geography is good, but not Marines or Navy.
