Did Olympic fins look like that?

The Viscount is an 810/840, isn't it? Wouldn't that cut the possibilities way down?

The abandoned Nicosia International Airport (NIC), and former RAF base, in Cyprus.

I believe Nicosia was posted earlier on the 12th of August.

evansb-right again, and apologies for posting a duplicate airfield:}

Any more for any more?

In the absence of any other offers, here's a slightly more challenging one..

Time for a hint, Andy.

Thought everyone had got bored of this game and had wandered off to forums new:}

It's mainland Europe where English is not widely spoken;) At least 2 forms of aviation should be familiar with this famous scenic airfield.
maybe this will help:

Go on then, I'll have a go at Bolzano

Nope, here's another big clue:

STANS - SWITZERLAND

Home of Pilatus!

Getting closer...;)

Austria airport?

I think Austria has more than one airport;):D

Wrong direction anyway...keep going...

How old is the picture?
Do I spy a glider?

621andy's challenge
 

Aeroport Gap-Tallard, French Alps, France.

He's right, as usual.

New challenge. This photo was taken in 1960.

bluddy hell this evans chappie gets it every time:D

Wild guess for this one- Gan?

Edit- just checked googly- NOT Gan:*

Firstly they look like they could be Sea Venoms, with a carrier in the background.
Thought it might be Suez, but no sign of 'invasion stripes' on the a/c, plus the photo details says its 1960:}

my guess is somewhere in SE Asia, but no real idea where:ugh:

Another half wild guess- Trincomalee, Ceylon(wot was)

Must be Subic Bay, now Subic Bay International Airport.
Mel

Think you're right:ok:

Mel is correct. Well done.:D It is the huge, now closed, U.S. Naval base in Subic Bay, Phillippines. You have control.

AKA Naval Air Station Cubi Point

yet another wild wild guess..Malta?

Mel's Challenge
 

Sorry 621andy I have removed my last post as the photograph was reported to be from a 1957 copy of Flight and was identified as a DC-7C climbing away from Philadelphia after two practice approaches had been made there for the benefit of the trainee crews on board. After further checking I do not think it was either of Phildelphia's airports North Eastern or the International one. I will post another challenge shortly.
Mel

Next Challenge
 

Sorry about the last one. This one should be easy though.

Halifax, NS (YHZ).

If I'm right, the floor's open!

You are right, I'm certain. I remember a happy couple hours trying to get de-iced on the ramp in the background. And just to confirm it, I found the same picture on the airport's own web site!

Apologies for the slight break from protocol by posting a new challenge without confirmation from Mel, I'm taking up Jerry's offer of the open house.



This is an airfield (honest!), a photo taken by my dad in the late 50's. Not as obscure as it seems, as soon as someone realizes what the item is it will fall quickly, as it could only be one of a handful of airfieds.

It has to be on one of the 27(ish) V Bomber dispersal airfields.

It doesn't look like RAE Bedford


Or is it a QRA caravan - Waddington?

Mel's Challenge
 

Apologies for the delay as Dan Winterland says Jerry Coe you were correct it was Halifax, NS (YHZ).
Mel

That was quick! It is indeed a V bomber Q caravan. Bear in mind that only the main bases had caravans that were pernamently manned.

Got to go to bed now (GMT+8) and I'm on standby at 6.

If anyone by chance should happen to mention the one V Bomber base that was in Norfolk, it's your turn.

Kiel Flughafen
 

Looks like Kiel to me, Schleswig Holstein, ich kann meine Kneipe sehen!

NP

Piccy to follow.

Which Airfield?
 

Moin moin!
Richtig, es ist doch Kiel-Holtenau.
Lived there for 3 years, and flew gliders from there. Great place apart from the weather in winter;)

..back to the pic...somewhere in Denmark??, though can't think where:(

certainly on the coast somewhere...

NATOpotato's challenge
 

Westerland Sylt perhaps?
