Which Airfield
 

621 Andy, Moin, gute Idee aber falsches Land. MReyn24050, not German, but it is european.

NP

Couldn't get the buildings to match up with Westerland, but I did wonder about it as there's been so many changes there...hmm, interesting:suspect:

Scheiße:oh:
Could be Dutch then I think.

edit- changed my mind, I reckon it's swedish, but I have been somewhat wrong in the past:}

NATOpotato's challenge
 

How about Alderney Blaye and the point on the horizon being the telegraph tower? Other possibility is Haugesund [Karmoy], Norway.
Mel

ENFL, Floro, Norway?

Getting closer. This little beauty is in the museum next door.

Then it's got to be Bodo I reckon;)

Yes, Bodo it is. Lovely people, friendly girls, and I've yet to see more efficient snow and ice ops, but the beer prices are enough to make you weep. Over to you.

NP

Never been to Norway, but have done Sweden twice...with someone else picking up the alcohol tab:ok:

Here's one that's a bit different to my usual offerings:

Though I guess it'll be 'got' fairly quickly:)

Cardington?

Cardington....if right, open house, I haven't mastewred uploading pics.

Edit: B****r, too slow again!

Sorry boys and girls, not Cardington.






To upload pics, I use this site:
http://www.postimage.org/

You just select a pic from your collection, click on save pic, then save the first wotsit that comes up under the photo when its uploaded itself.

Cranwell North?

621andy's challenge
 

Naval Air Station Lakehurst, New Jersey perhaps if not then a German Zeppelin Hangar similar to the one at Jamboli in Bulgaria during WWI.
Mel

Or Friedrichshafen?

Tillamook Bay, Oregon?

All wrong I'm afraid. At last I've found a challenging pic:ok:

I'll give another photographic clue if no-one gets it in the next few hours...

621andy's challenge
 

How about the Zeppelin Hangar situated in the Carioca quarter of Santa Cruz, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil?

All on the right lines, but no-one correct as yet...

Tustin perhaps?

No, not Tustin.

Ok, here's another visual clue. Off out now, back in a few hours, so talk amongst yourselves:}

621andy's challenge

Thanks Andy. Who would have thought combining architecture with aviation history could be fun? Here is the next challenge:

Croydon? trying to read wots written on the grass in background, but it looks like Ringway?, but probably says 'runway':rolleyes:

Not old Croydon, nor old Ringway, but it is old, and now, sadly, closed.

Ratcliffe, Leicester.

Andy is correct.:ok: Well done:D Ratcliffe was an important ATA ferry base during W.W.II. The aerodrome was closed in 1950.
Here is a war photo showing some diverse aircraft types:

Thank you, evansb:)
Soo, another challenging one, again airship based:

2 pics to make it a bit easier;)

621andy's challenge
 

How about the Airship mast and hangar at Karachi in what is now Pakistan?
Mel

Yep, definately Karachi.

bu99er me that was quick! CORRECT! Thought this one would run and run:}

FYI- it was built for the R101,for the London-Karachi route, but obviously it didn't make it:(
The mast was unusual in having a gas storage facility built into it so that the airship could be topped up whilst on the mast.
The Shed was 850' long, 180' wide and 170' high, and cost 93,000 quid to build in 1928. It's actually bigger than the cardington sheds, but of a simpler design.
It was all eventually dismantled and the steel/building materials used to build bridges and buildings for Pakistan railways.

It's now the site of Karachi International airport...

Over to MReyn24050 for the next thrilling episode:}

Next Challenge
 

Thanks 621andy, it was a little too close after your Zeppelin Hangar challenge as I noticed the Airship mast during the search for the location of the hangar.
This one will not last long either.

Deffo aircraft production. Engine test rigs visible, so maybe RR.

I'm pretty sure its Filton. If I'm wrong, feel free to kick my arse up the runway and back, as I'm a Bristle boy meself, my luvver;)

Mel's Challenge
 

He be right, it is Filton and the black sheds were Bristol Engines in those days but as you rightly say they be Rolls Royce now. I worked for many years in Whittle House on the opposite side of Gypsy Patch Lane for many years.
Here is a more upto date photo of Filton.

You regain control

Had my first flight in a Chippy from Filton:)
Hmm, getting more difficult to find 'interesting' shots! Got a few at home, but not going to be back there for a bit:rolleyes:

Well, here goes with the next quick-fire round, fingers on buzzers:

Aston Down

You have control...

Totally agree.
