Secue, This a short term memory test, which you've failed. ;)

It was on here - then disappeared.

seacue 25th Jul 2007 16:37

People my age can remember what happened 50 years ago but not what happened yesterday. What was the question? :rolleyes:

Another photo just to the left of the above, showing at least some form of active airfield status, even if it is only the fire section.

Nearly 5 hours and not one bite. What would the locals think?

Tiger_mate's challenge
 
An Airfield in Cuba perhaps but which one that is the question? The old airport Varadero-Kawama perhaps.

Tiger_mate 25th Jul 2007 21:49

:D :D Mel has control :D :D

Nowadays only used for tourist parachute drops and locals motor racing since the 'new' Varadero Airport was built outside town.

Although you will find online comments that this is disused, I am under no doubt whatsoever that in the event of a military 'need', it would be reinstated immediately. This is borne of the fact that there are no permanent obstructions on any taxiway or runway, and as can be seen, the fire station remains active.

Well done Mel, I think that this is probably about as difficult as it can get, and hope that when somebody does a similar one, that the clues are dripfed also.

Thanks Tiger_mate as you say there were many clues in your later photograph such as the Aerotaxi's AN2s together with flag aft of the cockpit window. This one I am sure will be easier.

No takers? This 1930s airport used to be the main airport for the City it supports. Today it is still in use but for General Aviation.
