I think I recognise one of the cabbages. Is it Altehru airfield, near Sangmo-ri, on Cheju-do, South Korea?

Truly, some of us (thank you Google, 'Japanese airfield shelters') have too much time on our hands. :)

Open House if correct.

All kale to you D 120A for rooting it out! We are talking the same place although the spelling I have for it is Alddeureu. Built by forced labour and used by Japanese AF bombers as a base to bomb Nanking and Shanghai in 1937.

Open house.

Sorry , I couldn't resist the Navy Lark joke. Not a clue where it is other than somewhere tropical.

Is it Mwanza on (or in) Lake Vic?

DH

Yup, have a friend who's fishing boat has aircraft quality metal flooring and some v comfy seats! Spent a v happy 3 years flying out of there, well worth a visit, especially if u like to fish! V big airport, as seen by baggage collection area!

Surely this is Entebbe (or just short of the runway!)


Edit: Right lake, ... wrong airport - agree with Mwanza.

It is indeed Mwanza, Tanzania, on the south shore of Lake Victoria. CathayBrat confirmed the location. We are awaiting Double Hydco's aerodrome challenge.

So what's the history of the wet undershoot?

Hi Simon!

aviation-safety.net/database has a full report. No fatalities. After holding for electrical power to be restored to the airport, the TAAT 707 freighter commenced an unstabilised approach resulting in the aircraft bouncing 2 or 3 times and came to rest in the lake. Irony was the aircraft was to pick up a load of fish.

I know it is not Cairns. These hangers were not there this morning.

Snow and huge hangars; somewhere in Canada or possibly Alaska?(That prime mover on the bowser looks American)

Goose Bay.

Double Hydco's challenge.
 

Gander perhaps?
Mel

VERY wild guess; Dutch Harbour

Well it's not Belfast so could be Seattle.

Ok, haven't played for some time, but I'd guess(wildly)somewhere in the UK ooop north.


It appears to be a Heavylift Belfast - I dunno, Prestwick???

While awaiting Double Hydco's reply, I'd have to say LFT is probably correct. A colleague of mine used to work there, and he says it sure looks like Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador, Canada.

Double Hydco's challenge.
 

I agree with Bri, LFT is definitely correct. Goose Bay

Yep, it is Goose Bay. Well done LFT!

Had to put the Belfast in the RAF hangar for the night, because it was -37 degrees C outside, and a balmy -14 degrees inside!

All yours LFT.....

DH

Thanks DH, I'll post another challenge ASAP.

Sorry for the delay - Here's the next "Which Aerodrome" -

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/d...May2008570.jpg

Gaydon, Warwickshire.

Oh well, that didn't last long, well done Fishtailed, over to you :ok:

Thanks, LFT, the experimental surface gave it away, didn't look aviation related.
Try this one-

Bristol Lulsgate??

Inskip, aka HMS Nightjar?

Barford St John or Croughton?
Damn just looked at Flashearth; it Is Inskip isn't it!!

I'm away for the next few days. If I'm right with Inskip . . .

Formerly RNAS Inskip it is Upyer RRRs

Open House.

This is an easy one; the airfield may have been posted before but not this view of it. Hope this is OK. (That's me in the lhs; almost on the centreline!)

Tombstone Arizona?

Not Tombstone, sorry.

Marana, Arizona?

How about Mojave, CA?

Not North America.

Seeb ?


Sorry 'bout the spaces, Seeb was too short!

Not Seeb. Maybe it's not as easy as I thought.

Nicosia Runway 32 ?
