Tiger_mate scores again. I see from Google Earth a few minor changes have taken place between photographs.

Belfast Aldergrove?

Not Belfast.

It was Naval and is now closed.

Background Noise 14th Aug 2007 19:52

Is that Valkenberg in Holland?

A-FLOOR 14th Aug 2007 19:58

Background noise: Correct.

Flap40 14th Aug 2007 20:01

As A-Floor said, it's Valkenberg. It used to have P-3's but has now closed. I'm told the locals have started a campaign to reopen it to avoid the enevitable new housing estate.
Ryanair to Amsterdam(Leiden) anyone!:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Fortunately for me I've landed there. This is the last one I can lay my hands on right now:

Flap40 14th Aug 2007 20:26

...and I've landed at this one:ok:

Background Noise 14th Aug 2007 21:36

I guess a lot of us have - its cropped to stop it being ridiculously easy but probably still pretty well known.

Saab Dastard 14th Aug 2007 21:38

I landed here too - on my QXC.

It was 04 / 22 with 14 / 32 then. They've even got an ILS now!

It would seem we are in need of a review of the fundamentals of posting a 'Challenge' photo. Many folks are willing to identify the aerodrome, but they won't stick around to post a challenge, perhaps because they are reluctant to monitor the replies. A gentle reminder to all, please try to post an older photo of an aerodrome that is still extant. Remember, this is 'Aviation History and Nostalgia'.
..and remember, if you think you have a correct answer, have a photo ready to post. Check this forum to learn how to post photos. Regards, from a guy who has done plenty..

Why art thou folkes being so coy about this aerodrome?

I have a couple of old photos to post if you have none.

Now off to the county dump / tip. Will return within two hours.

Flap40 15th Aug 2007 16:56

Okay Seacue.... It's Lydd. You have the floor.

Next challenge. Today this is a very major commercial airport.
Pardons for being 20 minutes late from my estimated two-hour excursion.

First hint:

There is a major motorway alongside the railway line from the center left to upper right. It lies between the railway and the hangars which are on the aerodrome - yet I can't find the hangars in the present Google Earth image. The hangars were still there when I drove past maybe 20 years ago.

[Sounds a little like my instruction to "Turn left where the E J Korvetes store used to be".]
