Ramsbury at a very rough guess but it could be any one of a number

Somewhere in Wiltshire ?

Can I change my guess to RAF Chilbolton ?

You guys are getting warmer and warmer.
This is another shot from the same era at this place.

Greenham Common

RETDPI 12th Nov 2008 06:30

Greenham Common would have been occupied by the U.S.A.A.F. at the time these images were taken.

Is it Coltishall?

RETDPI 12th Nov 2008 09:56

The station in question is closer to Greenham than Colt.

Looking at the tiffys in pieces, how about Langley?

RETDPI 12th Nov 2008 11:23

There is a clue in the presence of the other types parked around as well in various stages of undress.
No not Langley.

It looks a lot like an MU given all the various makes models and marks in between.

Lyneham, Aston Down, etc.

If so I must call "Open House" as I am travelling in the colonies!!

Speedbird 48.

White Waltham per chance?

KeMac 12th Nov 2008 13:09

Tarrant Rushton

Flap40 12th Nov 2008 14:54

How about Ford?

RETDPI 12th Nov 2008 15:53

None of those so far...
You guys are getting me worried :)
This base has not been noted before..................






Wokka ....Wokka.....Wokka......... :)

MReyn24050 12th Nov 2008 16:02

"Wokka, Wokka" would suggest RAF Odiham but that must be much too obvious

Weston Super Mare?

chevvron 12th Nov 2008 17:18

Looking at the architecture of that building top left, I'm inclined to guess Germany - Gutersloh? (I think 18 Sqdn used to be based there and they've got wokka machines.)

RETDPI 12th Nov 2008 18:03

Mel!!!
Welcome back!
I was getting worried as we haven't heard from you for a while.
It's Odiham,
Post D-Day when it was an aircraft repair and support depot.
You have control :) : )
