Not Freeport.

Lynden Pindling International Airport, New Providence, Nassau, Bahamas

Sigh, okay, let me try a few more brain cells, I know I've flown in and out of that place. I know I'm real close.


(And flown over it a lot more.)


Edited to add, that's the place, Evan's got it.

Indeed he has. You have control b.

Yes, indelibly etched. Nice sight after all that ocean - phew ;)

Thanks PaperTiger, I truly enjoyed that challenge. Here is the next aerodrome:

:hmm: Not too far from the last one by the look of it.

Frankfurt Rhein-Main?

Based upon a Pan Am DC4 and a neat line up of USAF? C54 in the background. Lack of airport detail means that it could be anywhere.

I thought they were all PAA planes in the photo. MAC scheme was similar though.

Pardon me, but Nassau and the Bahamas are a significant distance from the Caribbean.......

Yes, seacue, the geographic placement has been noted.
I sent PaperTiger a PM regarding just that.

Sorry, Tiger_Mate, the aerodrome is not in Germany.

Your dissent (both of you) has been forwarded to the appropriate authorities:

I think it's the semantic difference between the Caribbean as a region and the actual Caribbean Sea, which as you rightly say ends at the South coast of Hispaniola. Not that 800 miles or so is really that far away, global-wise. :zzz:

Perhaps the DC4 under tow is brand new. Long beach California or Oklahoma, both of which had Douglas factories?

Doesn't explain the Convairs though.

I guess not and they are PanAm also:

How many maintenance bases, and where for Pan Am

It is not in Long Beach, or Oklahoma.

It is Miami

Got there in the end!!

Tiger_Mate is correct.:ok: It is Miami. One of the aircraft may be a PanAgra DC-6. You have control.

This place is not always a sleepy hollow, in fact it has a healthy resident GA population, but they were all tucked up in bed on this winters morning.

ATC tower is centre right

Fairly regular visitor to that one - Sleap.

If I'm right I'll throw it open as not near a PC tomorrow....

The ex-wartime airfield at Sleap / Shropshire / UK it is. Many of the wartime dispersal circles still exist beneath an inch of earth/grass but can be seen with ease when in the rotary circuit.

Well done Squadgy:ok:
