No, not Hamble. The aeroplane, anyone?

Looks like a Miles U/c. Shoreham?

I'd say it's a Chipmunk.

Can't be Shoreham as that's still an airfield.

Tangmere maybe, but control tower doesn't look right.

Ramsgate Airport
 
Well done, Sabredog, Ramsgate it was, on 4th August 1953. That's the old water tower in the corner, which was this grass airfield's well known characteristic.

And the aircraft was a Miles Messenger (well done the others), G-AHZS of Air Kruise, in which I had just completed my first flight. I cropped the picture to avoid an embarrasing public airing of short trousers and knobbly knees.

Over to you, Sabredog.

D120A.
Thank you. Many happy hours spent at the said airport with it's Art Deco terminal, also home to the 438 (Thanet) Sqdn A.T.C.
Quite beyond me to post a picture I am afraid, so it is open house.

CYMX - Montreal Mirabel. If I'm right, it's open house as (a) I haven't any digital pix to post and (b) I'm off to Mirabel's predecessor & successor, CYUL.

Out Of Trim is correct.:ok: It is Wichita, Kansas, taken in 1954. You have control.

evansb 6th Aug 2007 15:17

I don't think Out Of Trim is going to post a photo. If Jarvis has an aerodrome photo to post, it would be appreciated.:)
