Is that Oban? Background Noise; you have control :D The unconventional approach is due to the caravan park short finals that can be seen in the middle picture. Noise and the complaints that accompany noise being the problem. |
Surprisingly don't have that many of my own photos but here's one:

Old Buckenham.
|
'fraid not - right part of the country though.
|
Seething?
and is it from a Cub? |
No and Yes - I wondered about a double 'what....' entry!
|
The water tower looks like a landmark near Wyton in Cambridgeshire, but I guess the whole of East Anglia could be covered in such items.
|
South of Wyton
|
Bourn
SD |
If it had been Seething you would have seen the see thing!! *Observatory*.
|
Bourn it is - SD has it. Was that too much of a clue (not suggesting SD didn't know it anyway) - how long do we string it out usually?
|
No, the only clue I needed was that it is in the UK (as I thought), then it was a simple matter to look up Pooleys... ;)

Somewhere in Slovakia?

Nicosia International Airport

Here is the next mystery aerodrome:

I don't have any idea what the current challenge aerodrome is....
but it was evansb who suggested this thread. I just acted on his suggestion. seacue |
RAF Valley in welsh Wales?
'866' |
EvansB challenge.
Military, probably US Military for the only UK airfield with that much concrete was RAF (USAFE) Burtonwood which this is not. Therefore whilst possibly in Germany is more likely to be mainland US. Anywhere close? |
The village in the distance and the terrain just don't look like the USA to me ... but I have been wrong before (gasp!).
|
evansb's challenge
The photo was taken during construction of the field in W.W.II. The airfield handles mostly civilian traffic now. Sorry, it is not in Wales, Germany, nor the U.S.A. It is located in the northern hemisphere, however.
|
evansb's challenge
How close to Keflavik is it?
|
As close as Reykjavik?
|
ZH875, about 50km northeast.
|
ThreadBaron, it is Reykjavik. :ok: You have control.
|

Deduction more than recognition required here. More to follow, if necessary. Never got past round one previously!:hmm: |
There are military people who would not thank you for this one. I shall abstain, and suggest that 21st Century Ops not be used.
|
Tigermate, apologies!
Same place different time. Nostalgia arises from the dearth of the aircraft depicted. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ron/Aerod1.jpg |
Muscat, Seeb. Not too military, although I have flown both military and civil aircraft into there. (Assuming I'm correct!)
|
Indeed you are, Dan. You have control.
Nimrods currently there for sorties to Afghanistan, supported by a KC 135. |
Not much of a Beadwindow as the Military ramp can be seen from the terminal.
Here's my entry. If you think it looks familiar, you could be correct. It too was taken from a Cub! http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...hippy/zzzz.jpg It's just gone past midnight where I am, I'm off to bed!!!!! I'll check the answers in about 8 hours. |
Come on chaps - it's not actually that difficult and I've given you a clue already. It's not too far away from the other 'which airfield' photo taken from a Cub. And if you were to file a flight plan to this airfield, as it doesn't have an ICAO identifier, what you have to write in the destination block would be very appropriate!
PS - looking through Pooleys may not help as this photo was taken about 20 years ago and some concrete had been removed since. And there's another hangar now. |
Must be the Bourn(e) Alternative? :rolleyes:
|
as it doesn't have an ICAO identifier, what you have to write in the destination block would be very appropriate! I won't answer because I don't have a picture to post.. |
Little Snoring
|
Correct!
I once flew from Little Snoring to Sleap, and then back again. Made for a great logbook entry! For those who don't know, if your departure or destination don't have an ICAO, you put ZZZZ in the box on the flight plan, then mention the airfield name in the addional imformation section. I'm going back to sleap now. Background Noise, you have control. |
Ok - wrong time of year I guess:

Courchevel?
'866' |
Spot on - Courcheval is correct. Choice of 2 pics, this one in season. Over to you.
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...shaker/ap2.jpg |
Easy One...
Here is the next Which Aerodrome...
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...0608070001.jpg I shall be working for the next several hours, so if anyone is 100% please carry on without me. Cheers '866' |
