It was a test facility, but not Europe.

...and aircraft assembly.

Is it in Florida?

Wrong State, right country..

The former Grumman facility on Long Island, NY. Former home of TWA 800, A6 and F-14 production. Now known as Calverton Executive Airpark (3C8).

Well done Cubs2jets ! Pretty historic IMO, home of the Grumman Tomcat !

:ok:

Sembawang, Singapore. Formerly HMS Simbang.

India Four Two is correct! Over to you.

C2j

C2J, Thanks. It was the mangroves and what looked like HDB flats that allowed me to zoom in on the right place. What were you flying when you took the picture?

Here's one with water, but definitely no mangroves:

India Four Two,

Citation VII. Flew s/n 7001 out of Seletar for 3 1/2 years and s/n 7073 out of Jakarta for another 6 months.

My word, where's the aerodrome? Or is this a waterdrome? :)

No doubt a waterdrome. I am thinking it is located in the nordic countries, perhaps?

Could be Scotland - isn't that Nessie in the water at the bottom of the pic?? :eek: :}

C2j

OK. Answers to your questions.

Bri, it's in the north, but not a Nordic country, although I know they do nordic skiing.

Russell, it's technically a "water aerodrome", so it qualifies for this thread :)


c2j, it's not Nessie, but there are legends of water monsters all over the world, so maybe it's her relative?

A clue. Here is a pair of recent METARS:

and a temperature graph:

My son, who lives here, tells me that even the locals who like winter, were complaining that it was "a bit cold".

The waterdrome of Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada, CES7, located adjacent to the shores of the great Athabasca River. If a relative of Nessie inhabits these frigid waters, she must be burnin' diesel! Tis' home of the largest population of New Foundlanders west of St. Johns. Great photo of the waterdrome, by the way.:ok:

What took you so long, Bri? I thought you would get it in one!

Yes, it's Fort McMurray, Alberta, with all those Newfies working in the oil sands. There are special Newfie sections in the supermarkets, full of very strange foods ;)

The float planes at this time of the year would either be stored or working on skis.

The picture shows downtown on the left, the Athabasca at the top and a little piece of the Clearwater river in the bottom right.

Over to you, where I hope it's a bit warmer than up north.

Thanks! Yes, I should have identified the 'drome earlier!:\

Here is the next 'Which Aerodrome?' http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r.../WAD080210.jpg

Staying north?

Yes. Just.
