Easter Island, Midway?

Perhaps Palmyra?

I suppose a partially overgrown runway and trees aren't a lot to go on! This airfield has a particularly historic connection.

The old strip at Yap?

Luganville, Espiritu Santo?

Penrhyn in the Northern Cooks?

Change my Yap to Palmyra.

Sorry everyone - we're not there yet. To add to my last hint think WW2 and a momentous event (that should do it!).

Tinian! Open house, I am going for my lunch time walkies.......!

Yes – well done John. It is indeed one of the runways at what was Tinian North Field whence the two atomic bomb missions were launched on Japan. The two bomb pits from which the B29s Enola Gay and Bock’s Car were loaded are still evident also. Open house it is then.
(A belated word of thanks to I.garey for his interesting previous challenge. When I started work in Peterborough in 1964 Westwood airfield was still discernible – all housing now.)

Thanks flyingwing for the compliment. Peterborough Westwood airfield looked like this in 1990. Now even the factory has gone and been replaced by a prison! A few of the old RAF buildings survive (eg Officers' Mess).

Midway Island. I've landed there.




(Oh, watch out for the birds. :ooh:)



If correct, open house.

Easy peasy, told you so.

The joys of Midway.....and the Boston Whalers over to East Island....there's a story there.

As its Open House - where?

I think we had that exact picture about 10 months ago but I can't remember where it was!

Yes we did and I can't remember where it was either:confused::confused:

My oops!

I posted it before and didn't realise it.

Apologies for the error and OPEN HOUSE!

This should be good for a few minutes!:)

Wanaka, New Zealand?

Gotta be. Only a hundred clicks or so from Queenstown, a more adventuresome airfield...

Flaps40, the floor is yours! Wanaka at the 2008 show.

Try this one!

McKinnon Pass Airstrip, Southern Alps, New Zealand ?

Close enough for me Evansb.:ok:

The strip is also known as Sutherland Falls and Quinton Huts strip. The photo is from the top of the McKinnon Pass.

I believe this picture is from the strip looking towards the Sutherland Falls, McKinnon pass is on the left.

Paris, Le Bourget? Is that a Martin Maryland?

I think it is a Maryland so the airport might be Baltimore.

Sorry, not Paris, nor Baltimore.

Is it Toulouse?

Sorry, not Toulouse. Not in France.

Montreal???

Sorry, not Montreal. Not in Canada.

Amsterdam?

Floyd Bennett Field, New York?

Sorry, not Amsterdam. Not Floyd Bennett Field, New York. The airfield was closed only briefly and then reopened for a different purpose.
