Very long shot. Wrong side of the Atlantic.

It has been more than 24 hours and only one guess. Too hard I fear.
Here is a similar view in the daytime. The elevator/lift towers are at the right edge of the photo. http://users.erols.com/rcarpen/airp33n.jpg |
I think it's Reagan National, Washington (DCA).
|
Right GCC, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport new terminal. Even though the first challenge in this thread was also KDCA, I thought the new terminal was essentially a different test.
GCC, you have control. |

Well done TM, knew I should have edited out the golf ball!
BEagle's pic - looks as if there's a Roman road across that airfield? |
Beagles is almost certainly a Coastal Command airfield, but I am not sure which one. The 'line' could have been a railway, but to the best of my recollection, the only such UK base like this was Ballykelly, which whilst a Coastal Command airfield also, this is not Ballykelly. It could however be another of the Northern Ireland airfields.
An interesting one Llanbedr? |
Ignore the 'Roman Road' - it's a damaged print, sorry.
Neither Coastal nor in Nor'n Ir'n. |
BEagle's pic:
No Roman road, hmm... there was I thinking WW2 Lincolnshire. Going on the tree shadows it's probably 'North up' orientated, possibly a railway in a cutting across the top left. Google earthed over Lincs but nothing similar. However, guessing: Binbrook? |
Topcliffe?
|
Neither Binbrook nor Topcliffe.
Although a type of aircraft once based at Binbrook was also operated from here...... |
Could also be Pershore?
|
RAF Middleton St. George
|
Neither P'shaw nor Middleton St George.......................
|
Coningsby?
Woodhall Spa looks like it might fit... |
Neither Coningsby nor Woodhall Spa......
|
Bassingbourn?
|
Leconfield?
|
Neither Bassingbourn nor Leconfield...
|
Church Broughton?
|
Should've got this one MUCH earlier! Westonzoyland -my part of the wurrrld.
99% certain anyway;) |
ee'm be roight! Weston Zoyland 'tis indeed!
Canberras were once operated here - in support of Operation Grapple (UK H-bomb tests). And, of course, Canberras were at Binbrook for many years! You have control. |

Château-Arnoux-Saint-Auban LFMX
French National Gliding Centre, I trained as a glider instructor there, and that was a long time ago, nostalgia, nostalgia ... certain circles No pics available, so the house is open |
Oui, C'est ca;) St. Auban Home of the CNVV
I was down that way flying balloons last week, and just had time for a drive-by but no time to fly:{ next time...:ok: http://upload3.postimage.org/434108/...CNVV001_2_.jpg The 'cloud' of dots in the middle of the pic, are midge like flies which get absolutely everywhere as soon as you climb out of the car- little baarstards:eek: http://upload3.postimage.org/434166/mysterypic.jpg |
If someone else has got a pic, feel free, otherwise I've got a couple more...
|
Ok Andy, this might be considered rather obscure, obtained this from a friend in the north. I'll remove if it's just too parochial.
Just to make things a little easier/fairer: View is looking west towards the Atlantic. It's had scheduled services for 40 years, wasn't a military 'drome. It's not Islay, or indeed anywhere in the west of Scotland. http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/c...28approach.jpg |
No more obscure than some we've had on here! No idea where it is though...time for research...:8
|
Is it Islay?
|
I'd guess at Yorkshire somewhere. ex military I'd say...
|
Not Islay, not Yorks. I've added some info to the photo post. I'd guess there's probably a few pprooners who earned their wings flying into here before moving on to greater things.
|
West coast of Eire?
|
It's Scotland, it's an island, the North Sea is behind the aircaft. Couple more islands on the western horizon with airstrips a mile apart. (Tiger mate heads out to the car for the road atlas!).
|
Caenarfon(sp?) or, just had a brainwave- Lundy?
|
(Tiger mate heads out to the car for the road atlas!). Kirkwall / Orkney |
Lerwick, Shetland?
|
None of the above! Not in Shetland, not in mainland Scotland.
It's CAA Licenced, owned and run by a local authority, not BAA. Tiger mate is 'warming' |
Papa westray, Orkney. Home of the shortest scheduled flights.
