Warnemünde?

Not Warnemünde,warmtoast, but you are getting "warm" in a geographical sense, and by that I don't mean a ridiculous 1400 miles or so !

A circle drawn 1400 miles from Rostock runs through Southern Spain so is your non-clue I don't mean a ridiculous 1400 miles or so ! Otherwise how about Wismar in Germany? |
Warmtoast, apologies if I did not make myself clear,you are on the right track in Germany, so please disregard the 1400 mile radius jibe. It refers to a recent post.The town/city adjacent to this airfield featured in the Thirty Years War, and the airfield also has a tenuous link to Yuri Gagarin!

Northern Germany, tenuous link to Gagarin? Peenemunde??

The town/city adjacent to this airfield featured in the Thirty Years War, and the airfield also has a tenuous link to Yuri Gagarin! So sticking my head above the parapet once again I suggest Johannisthal. |
Warmer still,Twochai. A good line of thought, but not Peenemunde.
|
Sorry,Warmtoast, not Germany's first airfield,Johannisthal.
|
Neubrandenburg ? Although I don't know the airfield's connection to Yuri Gagarin.
|
Correct, evansb. The photograph is of Trollenhagen as a Luftwaffe base, which later became Neubrandenburg-Trollenhagen.
As a DDR airfield it was the base for JG2 (Jagdfliegergeschwader 2 "Juri Gagarin"). Neubradenburg was recaptured from the Swedes by the Imperial Catholic League forces in 1631, although I do not believe Trollenhagen airfield played any part in this victory! Many thanks for the excellent replies. |
Thanks sabredog. That was an enjoyable challenge. Here is the next aerodrome:

First clue: The airport is not in North America.

Dubrovnik Cilipi in Croatia - recognise those hills anywhere.

I agree with minuteman.

You got it in one - I knew it was too easy! Your date is slightly out; I took the photo in late 1958 as I flew in from Gan. Your turn. |
Warmtoast will pm you later.
Here is another easy one http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d107/wunper/WTFsz.jpg |
