The photo was taken during construction of the field in W.W.II. The airfield handles mostly civilian traffic now. Sorry, it is not in Wales, Germany, nor the U.S.A. It is located in the northern hemisphere, however.

How close to Keflavik is it?

ThreadBaron 13th Aug 2007 11:45

As close as Reykjavik?

evansb 13th Aug 2007 11:48

ZH875, about 50km northeast.

evansb 13th Aug 2007 11:51

ThreadBaron, it is Reykjavik. :ok: You have control.

Deduction more than recognition required here. More to follow, if necessary. Never got past round one previously!:hmm:

There are military people who would not thank you for this one. I shall abstain, and suggest that 21st Century Ops not be used.

ThreadBaron 13th Aug 2007 13:27

Tigermate, apologies!

Same place different time. Nostalgia arises from the dearth of the aircraft depicted.

Muscat, Seeb. Not too military, although I have flown both military and civil aircraft into there. (Assuming I'm correct!)

ThreadBaron 13th Aug 2007 14:54

Indeed you are, Dan. You have control.

Nimrods currently there for sorties to Afghanistan, supported by a KC 135.

Dan Winterland 13th Aug 2007 16:04

Not much of a Beadwindow as the Military ramp can be seen from the terminal.

Here's my entry. If you think it looks familiar, you could be correct. It too was taken from a Cub!

It's just gone past midnight where I am, I'm off to bed!!!!!

I'll check the answers in about 8 hours.

Come on chaps - it's not actually that difficult and I've given you a clue already. It's not too far away from the other 'which airfield' photo taken from a Cub. And if you were to file a flight plan to this airfield, as it doesn't have an ICAO identifier, what you have to write in the destination block would be very appropriate!

PS - looking through Pooleys may not help as this photo was taken about 20 years ago and some concrete had been removed since. And there's another hangar now.

Must be the Bourn(e) Alternative? :rolleyes:

Yes, very good. I like it..

I won't answer because I don't have a picture to post..

Little Snoring

Dan Winterland 14th Aug 2007 07:50

Correct!

I once flew from Little Snoring to Sleap, and then back again. Made for a great logbook entry!

For those who don't know, if your departure or destination don't have an ICAO, you put ZZZZ in the box on the flight plan, then mention the airfield name in the addional imformation section.

I'm going back to sleap now. Background Noise, you have control.

Ok - wrong time of year I guess:

I shall be working for the next several hours, so if anyone is 100% please carry on without me.

Cheers
