I'll guess Tehran, Iran ?
|
Tehran.... nope but getting closer. About 60 miles closer than AMM.....
Rgds Richard |
Baghdad looks slightly closer, albeit nearly equidistant between Tehran and Amman
|
Baghdad it is, Code 100 over to you.

Brussels National EBBR?
|
My immediate thought was Manchester but it's been a while since I was there.
|
Minuteman has it. The 25R holding position looking north east.
|
Initally I thought Manchester too but the big white painted runway shoulders gave it away...sad I know!
In the office with no photos so OPEN HOUSE! |
|
Butterworth perhaps?
|
Labuan perhaps?
|
Wild guess..... RAF Gan?
Rgds AAO |
Sorry, it's not Butterworth, Labuan or Gan.
|
Car Nicobar?
Rgds AAO |
AAO has it. It's Car Nicobar.
Photo was taken sometime in 1956/8. Car Nic was a regular refuelling stop for the Changi-based 'Pigs' (Valettas) and RNZAF Bristol Freighters employed on the regular Changi – Negombo (Katunayake, Sri Lanka) run. They routed Changi – RAAF Butterworth – Car Nicobar – Negombo, and later when the crushed coral runway had been constructed at Gan, continued down there as part of the Negombo – Gan airbridge, when the frequency was upped to three a week. I went through Car Nic a few times in 1956 – 1958, refuelling was done by the locally-based Indian Air Force personnel. There was no terminal as such and on arrival pax disembarked and just hung around the aircraft to stretch their legs whilst it was being refuelled, as in the photo. Once refuelled we were off again ASAP. Over to you AAO. |
Thanks for the info Warmtoast.
The next one; http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...omewhere-1.jpg Rgds AAO |
Looks US
How about Midway |
Not Midway, sorry.
US? yes-ish, i.e. used by. Not in the US though..... Rgds AAO |
Mr Ripley,
It may look a bit old and tired but not US, it's certainly functioning. Sorry, it's lack of sleep.... |
Not Panama sorry.
In fact, Panama is rather a long way from this airfield..... Rgds AAO |
Wake Island?
As it does look a lot like Midway. |
It looks a bit like Carlisle aka Eddie Stobart international to me.
|
Not Wake Island & not Carlisle.
Wake Island is the closest so far. Rgds AAO |
Next wild guess is Guam
|
Sorry, not Guam.
Wake Island was the closest, but not close. Guam is closer. Rgds AAO |
Saipan Island?
|
Not Saipan sorry.
Guam is still the closest so far. Rgds AAO |
Kon-Ichi-Wa Anjin San------ Okinawa?
|
After consulting my map of the Pacific my finger says Port Moresby
|
Anderson AFB on Guam??????
|
As a wild guess, Palau....
|
Not Okinawa, Port Moresby or Palau & still not Guam :}
This airfield was originally built by the French & 'improved' by the Japanese. Rgds AAO |
Gia Lam near Hanoi?
|
Not Gia Lam.
This airfield is now in the same state though. Rgds AAO |
How about Hai Phong Cat Bi Airport
|
I have it on good authority that the challenge aerodrome might be Can Tho AAF, South Vietnam. Photo taken in 1965. ?
|
It is indeed Can Tho.
evansb, over to you..... Rgds AAO |
