How about Penang?

Mr. G,

Heading in the right direction from Colombo, but not Penang.

Port Moresby, PNG ??

Mr.G,

Getting closer!

Two clues:

1. The airport terminal picture has something in common with the Silhouette Thread.

2. This may be a give away, but I cannot resist posting this picture, sent by a friend, of one of my favourite aircraft operating from this airport

Well thank goodness it is not Columbo, TV series?

Get a grip, Mokmer, NNG.

Yes I agree, my favourite a/c as well.

One of many I saw at Dunsfold .

Yes I am afraid the photograph was indeed a giveaway.

Ciarain.

ps. 322 Squadron?

A long shot - Butterworth

Honiara, Solomon Islands ???

Ciarain's got it.

Mokmer airport on Biak Island in the former Netherlands New Guinea, now Irian Jaya province of Indonesia.

I don't know which RNAF squadron N-222 belongs to, but I think I can see the sawtooth LE and the outboard hardpoint of an F6.

My reference to Silhouettes was the two Bird of Paradise outlines on the concrete structure in front of the terminal. Biak is famous for its Birds of Paradise.

The carefully obfuscated street sign in the foreground says "Dr Albert Plesmanplein". Albert Plesman was one of the co-founders of KLM.

Over to you, KK.

PS Peter Falk is probably in the Morris Minor waiting for a suspect to arrive ;)

PPS Concerning Hunters, I saw the famous 22 aircraft loop at Farnborough in 1958. I didn't realise how special it was at the time.

I had to cheat a bit by finding out where Dutch Hunter F.6 were deployed in New Guinea.

I do not have anything to post -so openhouse.

Ciarain.

Thanks KK, I will step in with this.

India Four Two.

What was special about the 22 A/C loop?

I remember the 229OCU (Chivenor) Aerobatics in the late '60s or early '70s.
36 hunters in 229 and E II R formation.

dixi188,

Ah, but did the Chivenor boys do loops and barrel rolls? I'm trying to imagine the formation changes to ensure that the letters were still readable from the ground :eek:

"Mirror 2 go! d go!"

I did see the JPs do "EIIR" at Abingdon in 68, but that was strictly straight and level.

Male, Maldives?
