Spot on longer ron. Business is brisk at the moment! You have control.

open house...I havent got time to delve into my photos today :(
Was based at Brawdy years ago and guessed from the cliffs it was prob SW wales or cornwall.
regards B

Sorry for slight thread creep but I'm curious about previous two dromes - never heard of either. (1) Is Dale otherwise known as the former RAF St David's Head? (coastal command WW2 Halifaxes) and (2) where's Montford Bridge and was it a front line station? Cheers for any info and off to google...

Google has provided answers :ok:

Dale is in S Wales just west of the village of Dale which lies at the far western end of the Milford Haven inlet.

Montford Bridge is about 5nm NW of Shrewsbury.

Here is the next mystery aerodrome:

Gotha, Germany and Junkers - am I remotely warm?

Germany and Gotha or Junkers is very hot

Dessau Flugplatz ?

I think evansb has it, junkers factory aerdrome at Dessau

evansb is correct. Dessau - Junkers Aircraft Factory, so over to you. Sorry for the delay.

Thank you. Here is the next airport:

The airport was on a staging route during WW.II.

Lots of straight lines out there. Canada?

Yes, it is in Canada.

CYQU Grande Prairie, Alberta

Hen Ddraig is correct:ok: You have control.

I Knew I'd get one one day. Unfortunately I'm away from home and unable to access my picture collection. So Open House.

Sorry about that Hen Ddraig, but it gives me an opportunity to post a picture from another part of the world where, like Wales, dragons feature prominently in folk-lore

A couple posts ago a Dubendorf photo was posted by evansb. While I have not visited there in 30 years, they had an outstanding collection of early aero engines - two dozen or more pre-1920. What a way to see the technology evolving in the early days!

India Four Two's challenge
 

Hello Simon! Thar be dragons! (and an ATR-72 freighter by the looks of it);)
Is it Phnom Penh, Cambodia (VDPP)? Below is a photo of Aviation Royale Khmer Gardan GY-80 Horizon trainers taken forty years ago.
Regards, Brian

bri,

That's the one - Phnom Penh, Cambodia, taken two weeks ago. The tower has that very 60's look, but the rest of the airport terminal is very modern.

It's actually a Vietnam Airlines ATR72 in the foreground. The freight door is the baggage compartment in the forward part of the passenger cabin.

Over to you.

Simon

Thanks Simon! I can almost smell the fresh paint. Here is the next challenge. Put your thinking-toques on!

Could it be Schiphol, Nederlands, long, long ago?

Reminds me of Claresholm

That's because it is Claresholm ;) All 12 runways still useable.

Claresholm Industrial, Alberta (CEJ4), formerly RCAF Claresholm (CYOM). Only runway now listed is 03/21. If you are a glider pilot, most of southern Alberta, east of the Rocky Mountains, is considered a runway.;) Krakatoa has control.

Drat - would have got that one - my old man learnt to fly there in'53 on the Harvard with the RCAF - will get there someday............

Claresholm
 

Also learned to fly there in 53. Happy memories.
Open house

While we are waiting .....

Brian, I should clarify my comment about "all runways being usable".

Sensible aviators should use the nice smooth 03L/21R provided by Claresholm Council. However, if you choose to fly with no engine (or there is a strong Chinook blowing), then all runways are useable:

2005 Canadian Nationals start grid on 15L (you can see the forecast was for weak thermals ;) - it was the wettest summer on record in Alberta)
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...2/P1010016.jpg

Some of the runways need a little more care than others - 21L for example:

Here's one that doesn't appear on the list

http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/q...d/airfield.jpg

Could that be Christchurch, hampshire? If it is open-house.

Woody

Correct wwoody01. Open house it is.

Christchurch.

I should have known that. I used to live to the left of the far end of the strip.

It's all houses now and the windy road through the middle is called "The Runway".
Most of the other roads are named after British aircraft types from all makers but for some reason the products of AIRSPEED and DE HAVILLAND are missing, and this was their factory.

My Father worked there on Vampires, Venoms and Sea Vixens.

Sorry for drift.

No drift at all. This is Aviation History and Nostalgia.:ok:

May I submit the next challenge?

Looks as though a hint is needed.
