LFT 19th Dec 2007 13:29

I think the temp was 80c + so not snow, and it's nowhere near Scandinavia,

Fishtailed 19th Dec 2007 14:05

Is it the Cessna factory at Witchita.

LFT 19th Dec 2007 15:04

A bit further east..

LFT 19th Dec 2007 17:17

The Netherlands has been mentioned, it's not that far from New Amsterdam..

Flap40 19th Dec 2007 19:15

I think it's Linden.

LFT 19th Dec 2007 20:37

I think you're right :D

Flap40 20th Dec 2007 07:59

Okay, next one....

Cherbourg, methinks.

Russell Gulch 20th Dec 2007 19:43

After three hours, I'm bored, and I'm sufficiently confident of my answer to post the next "Which Aerodrome?"

Leicester based Taylorcraft methinks

Flap40 21st Dec 2007 08:21

Just to confirm, Cherbourg is correct.

.....and after 22 hours, Tiger Mate is still wondering if it is Leicester!

Russell Gulch 21st Dec 2007 20:02

Sorry, the aerodrome is not Leicester.

ICT_SLB 22nd Dec 2007 03:50

John,
I beleive Russell's challenge is still active. You might want to keep yours until you either (a) answer his or (b) the successful person declares open house. I realise it can be a bit slow when Europe's asleep but it is mainly a Brit forum.
Compliments of the Season!

John Hill 22nd Dec 2007 06:23

You are so right, apologies, I read Flap40's post and got the wrong idea.:rolleyes:

I am going to pull mine and I understand your 'Brit forum' comment though this particular strip has seen even a RAF Vulcan (though VERY briefly!).

Flap40 22nd Dec 2007 12:25

Nevers in France.

If I'm right then John mights as well jump back in as I won't be able to post a pic until the 24th.

sabredog 22nd Dec 2007 16:30

I believe that Flap40 has it correctly identified.
Taylorcraft org.u.k, confirms the tower as being Nevers.
This internet site is dedicated to the late Maurice Brett.

Tiger_mate 22nd Dec 2007 18:57

I would have sworn that it was a UK Mil ATC Tower modernised. But Nevers it is: (I have been there as well, but it was way back in '88)

Russell Gulch 22nd Dec 2007 19:52

Flap40 is correct; Nevers it is.

Looks like John carries the baton.

I'd have to say Oostende, but not quite sure.

xreime 23rd Dec 2007 08:19

Definitly Kabul.
Merry christmas you all

621andy 23rd Dec 2007 08:26

Looking at the vehicles and a/c in the background, I'd guess at somewhere in Africa... Congo somewhere?

621andy 23rd Dec 2007 08:30

Hmm, yes, Kabul looks favourite having googlyed it..

John Hill 23rd Dec 2007 16:45

Yes, Kabul confirmed. Xreime gets the prize on that one!

xreime 24th Dec 2007 11:01

There is much more snow now!

Phileas Fogg 24th Dec 2007 12:24

Rovaniemi ?

Fishtailed 24th Dec 2007 15:26

Goose Bay Perhaps

xreime 25th Dec 2007 06:41

Phileas Fogg is correct!Its Rovaniemi.
That one was too easy.

Phileas Fogg 25th Dec 2007 08:49

Open House

Russell Gulch 25th Dec 2007 08:52

A very Merry Christmas to you all.

John Hill 25th Dec 2007 22:40

Ummm... it is an Empire flight training school in Canada?

Russell Gulch 26th Dec 2007 06:20

No, it's not.

Russ

con-pilot 26th Dec 2007 19:36

Russ, would this be in the US, California?

sabredog 26th Dec 2007 20:47

Hamilton Army Airfield, in Novato, California?

Russell Gulch 26th Dec 2007 21:50

It is in the US, but not Hamilton or even California.

Russ

chevvron 27th Dec 2007 14:31

B***er I was going to suggest Habbaniya, Iraq.

Speedpig 28th Dec 2007 03:58

Wheeler Field?

John Hill 28th Dec 2007 05:03

Park Field, Memphis TN.

Russell Gulch 28th Dec 2007 12:25

None of the above.
