Which Aerodrome Mk III
I believe that Ballykelly claimed (probably with some justification) to have been the only airfield in the world where a cow had been killed by a train on the main runway.

Next up is a location that has personal significance for me.
Nice clue Whittling so it's Hucclecote or if you prefer, Brockworth!
OH if correct.(Did they really do hops in the E28/39 on that short runway?)

Yes, indeed; Hucclecote, AKA Brockworth. Glad the clue helped!
My late grandfather was an inspector with the Gloster Aircraft Company, signing off aircraft as fit to fly. One of my most cherished possessions is his 3-volume set of Newne's Engineer's books from this period and one of the stories I wish I had recorded was how he described the surprise of the E28/39.
chevvron has control.

Somewhere a little warmer...
As Chevvron has declared OH, this place has a brief military history...

Groote Eylandt? OH if correct...
Derr! I looked at Mornington Island on GE, and then for unknown reasons typed in Groote!
My jurisdiction is QLD Dora-9, so don't venture over the border to NT much! Try this one (I do not expect to last long), another time, another place, but fond childhood memories for moi...

I think you're right Shackman; I knew I'd seen that tower somewhere. Used mainly when the RAF weren't operating in their tower which is the one used nowadays.
