Which Aerodrome Mk III
totally made-up to create some relevance with reference to a nearby boundary. That should confuse even a Limburger!

Nice one - Tex-Ark-Ana. Texarkana, on the Texas/Arkansas border, with two towns ( cities? ) of the same name either side of the state line, with the airfield in Arkansas. The GBS attribution comes to the fore so often, lovely.
All yours.
All yours.
Thanks JENKINS. Your comment about boundaries rather than borders, combined with the made-up name reference immediately brought Texarkana to mind. It's geographically one city, but politically two. The "ana" in the name comes from Louisiana which is only 30 miles to the south.
I've never been there but was aware of it from my time in Houston. What is interesting from a non-US perspective, when I looked it up on GE is that there are three other airports, six miles or less from the centre of twin cities with a population of only 70,000. Not very unusual in the US.
This challenge shouldn't last long. I took these pictures last Sunday and post them mainly because of the interesting aircraft.
State Line Avenue follows the Texas-Arkansas state line throughout much of Texarkana. The two "sides" of Texarkana are separate only from a political standpoint. Thousands of locals actually live in one state and work in the other.
Owing to its divided political nature, Texarkana has two mayors and two sets of city officials; however, the two sides share a federal building, courthouse, jail, post office, labor office, chamber of commerce, water utility, and several other offices.

Yes, Buffalo Airways have 4 active Electra's and 4 inactive Electra's. Red Deer is Buffalo's maintenance and storage base. Their operations bases are Yellowknife NWT, and Hay River, NWT.
Here is the next challenge:

Yes, Red Deer. I was there for the AGM of the Alberta Soaring Council.
Note the DC-4 in the background of the Beaver picture. It hasn’t moved since at least last June.
dixi188, does that explain the British flag on the Electra?

Still got `FE` on the nose gear doors,was G-LOFE at AA in Coventry ,when I spent several hours in it testing the `crop-spray ``boom fitted for pollution control..Flutter,asymmetric,,Vno,and stalling...the upper windows in the cockpit help greatly in recovery from the stall if one really persists...then the spraying tests at~50ft over Holyhead harbour,or watering the grass at Coventry..Such fun with your trousers on.....
