The church in the background reminds me of Greek architecture; hmm jumping the gun; Navarone? (says he tongue in cheek)
|
Sorry, been at work today - Crystal River is correct!
|
Sorry, not Navarone:}... When I wrote about 'jumping the gun', I was meaning starting a new pic before the last one was confirmed as being correct by REF!
As to the other guesses.....all wrong I'm afraid:(, although Speechless two is correct with the aircraft type and reg:D;) |
Kingsfield Airstrip, Dhekelia, Larnaca, Cyprus?
|
Evansb does it again!
Kingsfield is used by Crusaders Gliding Club(whom I can recommend incidentally:)) and the Army parachute club. Its reason for exisiting is as an evacuation strip should the TCs get nasty again...Its proximity to the border meant that it was built cross to the prevailing seabreeze which means you get very good at x-wind landings;) Incidentally, the T-Porter was there in support of the Red Devils who were doing their pre-season warm-up in Cyprus- much like the other 'Reds' do as well:ok:. It stopped us flying for 10 minutes, but at least I got a good shot of it... |
Well at least I got the Greek church right!!
|
Thanks Andy. Here is the next 'Which Aerodrome?'
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...hichAD0823.jpg |
The photo was taken in the 1940s. The aerodrome is not in Europe.
|
Pacific and a US base at all...........Thinking Marianas........
|
North Field Tinian?
|
It is located in the Pacific. It is a U.S. base. It is not in the Marianas, nor is it Tinian.
|
IE Shima. Okinawa, Japan.
Site of the untimely death of one of the most beloved of war correspondents, Ernie Pyle. If correct these might be of interest: http://ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/USA-P-Okinawa/USA-P-Okinawa-7.html http://www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil/apjinternational/apj-s/2005/4tri05/howardeng.html |
StbdD is correct.:ok: Ie Shima was also the base from which U.S. fighters downed the last Japanese aircraft of WW.II. You have control.
|
Thanks Evansb. Unfair advantage as that one is in my logbook.
How about this one folks? http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...e03/Prune2.jpg |
I thought Tinian as well but couldn't get the island shape to match up. May have been the angle the photo was taken:confused:
|
Risking being wrong on both counts :rolleyes:, Sembawang with Sea Furies?
|
More like Kittyhawks at Pearl Harbour then Sea Furies
|
Hamilton AAF, San Rafael, Marin County, California. (north San Francisco Bay area)
|
Good Call, evansb. Awaiting confirmation from stbdD.
