Which Aerodrome Mk IV
Catterick (from a VGS glider) circa 1985.
Here are a couple of other photos.
Note the VGS gliding caravan at the threshold adjacent to the Hastings.
The fuselage behind the Hastings is Buccaneer then (obviously) a Vulcan and beside that (if i recall) the remains of a much scorched Javelin and another Vulcan.
Below that a photo of the domestic site.


the careful application of HS&E to allow a vast number of people to live literally at the end of the runway suggests SE Asia to me............. Indonesia?
S E Asia then?
Nope - its Goma - much in the news - somewhere with big lake, that weird strip connection the terminal to the runway.......

Asturias has it with Goma. The original picture shows the 2002 lava flow which shortened the runway and inundated the taxiway, cutting off the terminal from the runway!

The recent lava flow came from the same vent system on the southern flanks of Mount Nyiragongo. It didn't reach the airport this time, but it did destroy hundreds of houses.

Asturias has control.

Yes, there's a bright golden haze on the meadow


I've got a wonderful feeling, everything's going my way.................................
There are a lot of airfields in the Sooner State

This airfield was active for long time but is no longer in use (at least for fixed wing - may be some ballooning occasionally ) ...................




Good shot!
yes - the late Hatbox Field - now a park/motor track etc etc - still do some ballooning there tho'
AS we started with a song - lets all go out together..
"We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
We don't take no trips on LSD;
We don't burn no draft cards down on Main Street
But, We love living right, and being free
We don't make a party out of loving
But we like holding hands and pitching woo;
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do
[Chorus]
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball;
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse
White lightning's still the biggest thrill of all
