Hmm, it's been a time but it looks like Ohrid LWOH. And I sure know the type out of of which this pic was taken :)

AN2 driver- I suspect you can work out the type blindfolded:} as to the airfield though, wrong I'm afraid:E

True enough, must go and do that again sometime soon. Great plane and good fun to fly.

Best regards
AN2 Driver

I've noticed that one has appeared at our local airfield(EDFC)- must make enquires as to the possibilities of a hop...:)

This'll probably be my last photo for a bit as I'm off to the UK, then France for a month as of thursday am. Hopefully someone will get this one before I go, otherwise you'll be on tenterhooks until I get to a comuter again:p

Is it Grobnik (LDRG), Croatia?

KMG 365- Congratulations, it certainly is!

I flew in a Blanik there with a mate of mine- The roughest aerotow and landing I've ever experienced:uhoh:...but the soaring was good though:ok:

Very friendly lot there:)

My ex Olympia 2B flies there too;)

Here are acouple more pics of Grobnik, near Rijecka, Croatia:

Shoreham..........?




Edit....alignment's right, sea outlook about right, but a check on Google earth says it's not Shoreham, unless its a very old pic...............ah well, back to work

Looks vaguely sub-tropical...Asia somewhere?

Sorry, onb. It's not Shoreham.

Not in Asia either, Andy.

Here's a hint:

The body of water in the background is the Atlantic Ocean.

KMG 365's challenge

Yes, that's it. Well done! :D

Over to you.

Thanks KMG 365. Going back in time for the next one.

Is it Heston?

Mel's Challenge
 

Well done Bri. :ok::D It is indeed Heston, I almost said it would be easy and this time I was right. By rights you have control, however I see that LFT has posted one already.
LFT, I see this was only your second post, it is the thread rule that to post a new challenge you have to solve the current challenge.
Mel

Oops :O Sorry, shall I remove my pic?

LFT, please keep your photo up. You have control. Cheers.

Well done Jenkins, here's a shot from the opposite end -

BAMRA's challenge
 

Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, formerly USAF base Sondrestrom Fjord (BGSF),
base code BW-8, known as Bluie-West 8, or just 'Sondie' in later years.
Construction started in 1941 under the guidance of famed Arctic explorer Bert Balchen. Initially used for trans-atlantic ferry flights as an alternate airfield to BW-1, the USAF based aerial tankers in Sondie during the post-war years, re-supplied remote DEW Line sites, and it was also used by trans-atlantic airliners as a fuel alternate. The USAF turned the base over to Denmark in 1992.
Here is a shot taken in 1965. Not too much has changed.

You have it evansb, over to you...

Thanks BAMRA, that was fun. Here is the next aerodrome:

Sorry JENKINS, not Shaibah, Iraq.

Just a stab in the dark - Karachi

Sorry KeMac, not Karachi. There is a British connection to the airfield, however.

Salalah, Oman? Ex RAF airfield and Imperial Airways staging post.

Sorry BAMRA, not in the middle-east, nor the near-east. Not a RAF airfield, nor an Imperial Airways stop-over. Here is a later photograph:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...40/WA1011a.jpg

Is it somewhere in USA?

Yes, it is located in the United States.

Is it the ex-home of the ill-fated circular runway concept; you know, central pillar, wire to wing tip, accelerate, lift off at V2, and release once the wheels are up?

The name of the place is on the tip of my tongue.......

Randolph Field, San Antonio, TX, long, long ago.

Randolph AFB
 

I notice that you can still see the old circle (exactly 1/2 mile in diameter) right in the middle of the AFB to this day.

Sorry, it is not Randolph Field. The mystery aerodrome's ring-road is still in use today, however the property is not being used for any aviation purposes. The buildings, still visible on Google, have been converted to other uses.

Ford Airport, Dearborn Michigan ?

Hmm, its not Ford Airport either. Looked it up here:
http://www.airfields-freeman.com/

Looks to be a flat, dry, treeless landscape - further south?

Sorry, not Ford Airport. Not in Michigan, nor Texas.
Clue: During World War II it was known as "the largest non-military operated flight training centre in the United States".

Another 'puzzle lite' to run alongside evansb's 'heavy':

Wouldn't be the Azores again? Looks a lot like Horta (I said that earlier, about Pico).

If so, someone else please do the honours...
