That's blowing snow streaming across the runway!

The picture hasn't appeared.

I'm guessing Goose Bay in winter!! ;)

Bl**dy hell. Correct! Five minutes - and without the picture! Well done Roly. You must have seen a similar view more than once in your career.

The picture should have appeared by now. It didn't at first because I had named it in photobucket with an expletive to suggest it was very cold. It appears pprune stops expletives - even in links. It does fit the criteria for being historic as it was taken from a Victor about tenty years ago.

It is indeed Goose. Taken on an exercise 'Snow Goose' the aim of which was to perfect operating in cold weather. Exercise 'Practice Bleeding' if there ever was one! having said that, I've been flying around China for the last week, and the experience of Snow Goose has been very useful!

Best regards, and you have control.

The first time I get one of these right and I haven't got any suitable pictures on this new laptop. Can everyone wait until I get back tonight?

Dan

It was a wild guess and I would have got the aircraft type wrong, I assumed VC10K, but it had to be Goose!!

OK, sorry for the delay. Let's try this one...

Is it coming up or going down ? ;)

Scunthorpe as viewed from Humberside?

Coming up!!

And no, not Humberside.

So, looking the other way - Fenton?

Damn! Less than 30 minutes!!! And I thought it would be quite tricky. I should have said not Scunthorpe. Church Fenton taken from 3 hangar looking towards D, E, F.....Drax, or was it Eggborough power station, sometime close to the winter solstice.

What gave it away?

Background Noise over to you.

It just looked like that part of the world - well lincs/south yorks - often seen at low level but not usually that early. Had to be somewhere with industry/power stn either east or west. Haven't got the old pics I'm after yet from my dad - the only other one I have to hand is only a month old so I guess its OPEN HOUSE.

if nobody minds I'll jump in with this one;

I'll not be around until thursday evening so guess away!

Well I'm guessing Middle East so - Al Udeid?

Northern hemisphere?

Kuwait Intl?

Historic? Nostalgic?

It looks like 'virgin' tarmac as if it's never been used ..... very Historic :)

Quite right.

But where?

Not middle east but it is north of the equator

Probably somewhere in the USA, howabout Alamogordo, White Sands, New Mexico?
