Thanks AAO. Here is the next mystery aerodrome:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r.../WAD080811.jpg

Time for a clue: Little trace of the base remains.

What little road traffic I can see appears to be on the left side of the road so my hazard is that this field is in the UK!

Fowlmere perhaps?

20 quid it isn't Fowlmere but how about Stradishall?

Sorry, not Fowlmere nor Strandishall. The air base is not in Great Britain nor on the European continent.

Somewhere in India perhaps?
The accommodation at the top looks a bit Raj.

With so many seaplanes and with launching ramps I suggest:

Ford Island, Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii

Sorry, not India. Not Ford Island, Hawaii.

Pensacola, Florida? I seem to remember a John Wayne movie set in the 30s & 40s where all flying from there was in floatplanes. They do look a lot like N3Ns.

Sorry not Florida. Not in North America.

I think that truck making the left hand turn towards the Officer's Club is an early model Nissan, how about Japan?

Eastchurch, Hawkinge or Andover?

Sorry, not in Japan. Not in Asia.

Rose Bay, NSW?

Sorry, not in Australia.

I don't see a reply to Chevvron's post:

Eastchurch, Hawkinge or Andover?

The layout certainly loooks to me like that of Andover, at least as it was circa 1970?

"The air base is not in Great Britain nor on the European Continent".

Dave

Must be South Africa then?

""The air base is not in Great Britain nor on the European Continent"".

Not on the European Continent, hmmmm, Ireland? Some island in Europe?

Not on the African continent.
Not in Asia.
Not in North America.
Not in Australia.
Not anywhere near Great Britain, Ireland, nor the continent of Europe.

South America?

There is only one way, we must resort to the binary divide...:}

Is the first letter of the aerodrome name in 'A'..'M' or 'N'..'Z'?

I've been away (so to speak) due to lack of timely access to PPRuNe, despite upgrading to ISDN, etc. Going slow, or am I missing something?

Anyway, back to the topic:

May I suggest Malta?

Darrell's Island, Bermuda?

Kalafrana or Marsaxlokk?

South America? No, but close.
Not Malta.
Not Bermuda.

How about Central America then?

Dave

Coco Solo Naval Air Station, Panama?

S'land is correct:ok: NAS Coco Solo, Canal Zone, Panama. The birthplace of John McCain, the Republican Party nominee for the President of the United States.

You have control.

Thanks Bri. That was an interesting one to try and find.

I could not find this one on the list, so hope that it has not been done before.

Woomera, Australia.

Not Woomera, sorry.

Muroc Lake Bombing and Gunnery Range (later known as Edwards AFB)?

Sorry India For Two, not in USA.

Time for a clue or two, methinks.

The photograph was taken in 1925, or thereabouts.
The hanger still exists today.

I think it is Qantas' original hangar at Longreach.

Open house if I am right.

Hmmm, the roof line does not look symetrical which I think the Longreach hangar is. How about the QANTAS hangar at Cloncurry?

D120A has it. Longreach in 1925. Photograph taken from an article on the Australian "Airways Museum & Civil Aviation Historical Society" web site.

Longreach Aerodrome - 1925

Open house it is then...
