Québec City (YQB)?
|
Not Quebec City, but you are getting closer.
|
The concrete apron at Ottawa looks as if it might fit.
|
Not Ottawa. Close.
|
Dorval, then?

Saab Dastard is correct.:ok: It is indeed Montreal/Dorval Airport. The challenge photo was taken in the late 1940s. I thought the Northeastern Airlines DC-3 would have given it away a wee bit earlier. Dorval has been renamed 'Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport'. It is Canada's third busiest airport, in terms of passenger loads. You have control. |

A very early Lasham?
|
Indeed it is, over to you.

Ok. My first time so be gentle!

Hints? Hints? Hints?

Ex WW2. |
Langar ?
|
Nope, not Langar.
I'll post another pic up later if this is too tricky. |
Don't give up yet paddy. Feed us some clues!
|
Eighth Airforce!
|
My head hurts now, but I think it is Rattlesden!
|
ThreadBaron
I would agree with both the head ache and it being RAF Rattlesden.

Should one, or perhaps the two of us, get a life, Mel? You must have been following me through the Mighty 8th website cross-reference page, a step behind!:uhoh:
|
Well done chaps.:D
Here's the close up I would've posted. http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSCF0586.jpg |

Very true :\

|
Ormond Beach?
|
Sorry, Paddy,not Ormond Beach.
That's the first one of mine that's got past Round 1 - Wooooo Hoooo! |
I think it is Gander going by all that forest. Actually never seen the airport but lots of forest and lakes made me think of Canada and it appears on further searching that the photo was taken in 1946 from PBY-5A 48314.
|
|
In which case you don't need me to tell you that you now have control, Portlaoise.
|
Ok sorry about small images but this one might be fairly easy otheriwse.

Ok I will give a small hint to this airfield to make things a little easier. Operations from this field were civil then military then civil again. From the 80s until recently the field was used again as a motorbike racing track. Part is still used for karting today.
|
It has Coastal Command written all over it, but for now, I will opt for:
Nutts Corner As I am right, OPEN HOUSE* *In accordance with Seacues wishes in post #68 RAF Nutts Corner was a Royal Air Force station in County Antrim near Belfast. It was originally a civil airfield, then a military base and subsequently Northern Ireland's main civil airport until the 1960s. During World War II it was an important Coastal Command station and was also used as a transport hub for aircraft arriving from the United States. No. 120 Squadron operated B-24 Liberator maritime patrol bombers from the base from 1941. OPEN HOUSE |
Try this challenge from the 1940s.

NAS Pensacola?
If that's correct, I open the floor 'cause I'm going to bed. :zzz: |
Not Pensacola.
I, too, am calling it a day. Back in service. seacue |
Problems have arisen and I will be unable to monitor this one challenge any further.
The airport is Anacostia Naval (Air) Station, Washington, DC. Home of the presidential Marine helicopters. http://users.erols.com/rcarpen/airp42a.jpg \The Floor is Now Open! seacue |
Okay here is one that should not last too long.
http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~jodel/photos/Q1.jpg Edit to add that it is in the northern hemisphere in a place where English is spoken but there is a strong French connection. The tower building still stands but the hangars have now gone although a copy of the BEA hangar was later built and still stands further to the north in the open area in the top left of the pic. |
Is it Jersey International, in the Channel Islands?
|
Yes it is Jersey.
|
Thanks Flap40. I've heard the Channel Islands are quite pleasant places to visit and live. I am impressed that BEA had a hangar there. Here is the next aerodrome, in a country that is also a pleasant place to live and visit:

Which Aerodrome
Well I am from New Zealand and that looks to me to be Wellington airport. It is actually built on land raised from the sea and it is a windy city so I would expect most pilots enjoy the challenge of that airport. I have nothing ready so open floor (provided I am right, of course)
|
Vintage Aerodrome
Ok Well noone has posted so far so thought I might as well take my own 'open house' Here is something that shouldn't cause too many problems. Click on thumbnail for bigger image.
