The way I looked at it was that the white stuff was frozen ice/water and therefore would go for Lake Hood.

[Mr_Grubby]

Davidsoffice.

Yes indeed, Lake Hood the worlds busiest seaplane base.

Adjacent to Anchorage Ted Stevens Airport.

Over to you.

On my way to the Shetlands in a Viscount way back in '72, we landed on that runway running top left to bottom right having just flown across Scapa Flow at 500ft.
It's Kirkwall.
Open House if correct.

[descol]

Chevvron - it's not Kirkwall - interesting how your memory makes you feel so sure about it !

[Mr_Grubby]

Could it be Vietnam ??

Clint.

[descol]

Clint
Not Vietnam

[chevvron]

I have to say I'm surprised; the taxiway pattern is correct as is the runway pattern and the 'water' at top left.

Well, I think it might be Christmas Island because it looks like RAF Valiants on the dispersal.

Yes Simon - it is Cassidy on Xmas - operation grapple in 1956/57
over to you.
Chevvron - can it be that this stirp is so similar to Shetlands ?
Des

[Background Noise]

Kirkwall is on Orkney, very similar - but different.

[simon niceguy]

Thanks Des.

The style of the hardstands reminds one of the Oz military and / or UN in Southeast Asia or Oceania.
Close?
