As BAMRA hasn't officially confirmed that it is in fact Orkney, I Googled it to be sure, and can confirm that it's Hatston.

I assume the reference to it being too dry is aimed at my pic and not the Orkneys:}

Turin it is not;)

the incivil beast 10th Jan 2008 13:38

The Robin inside the hangar and the runway markings have definitely some French touch. Most probalbly Provence or Languedoc (based on the countryside)

Cuers-Pierrefeu, per chance ?

621andy 10th Jan 2008 13:47

Cuers-Pierrefeu- mais non!

Is the aerodrome in Greece?

621andy 10th Jan 2008 23:22

Sorry, not Greece:)

Fishtailed 11th Jan 2008 08:03

Is it Limmasol, Cyprus

BSD 11th Jan 2008 09:44

Ajaccio, Corsica perhaps?

BSD.

621andy 11th Jan 2008 12:41

Not Limmy, or Ajaccio either...

Russell Gulch 11th Jan 2008 18:02

Small clue, perhaps, Andy?

Russ

621andy 12th Jan 2008 01:09

I thought this one would go in minutes!

Someone got very close early on...

Fishtailed 12th Jan 2008 11:05

Somewhere on the Med coast like Frejus.

mustpost 12th Jan 2008 11:40

Lucca airfield?

621andy 12th Jan 2008 13:29

Not Luqa, but Frejus is warmer...

the incivil beast 12th Jan 2008 13:39

Le Luc - Le Cannet ?

621andy 12th Jan 2008 13:42

Here's a pic from the air that I've just found on the net...

621andy 12th Jan 2008 13:45

Not Le Luc.

the incivil beast 12th Jan 2008 13:48

Vinon sur Verdon !

I knew I had seen this tower somewhere :ugh:

Edited for typo induced grammar offence

621andy 12th Jan 2008 13:52

Slight diversion
 
I need to find info on wartime photos of RAF Stapleford [Tawney]? Does anyone have any pics of the airfield during WW2 please? However tatty or faded..... :rolleyes:

Unlucky for some it got hit twice by V-2s.

Thanks in advance for links or pics.

621andy 12th Jan 2008 14:18

Is it Chartres?

the incivil beast 12th Jan 2008 16:07

Sorry, not Chartres.

barit1 12th Jan 2008 20:58

Intruder alert
 
Interesting diversion - near my home town.

Zoom in, switch to satellite view, have a swim!

evansb 12th Jan 2008 21:01

the incivil beast's challenge
 
Grenoble - Le Versoud, France (LFLG).

the incivil beast 12th Jan 2008 21:11

Oui, Monsieur :ok:

Out of sheer curiosity, how did you find it ?
You have the floor

evansb 12th Jan 2008 21:23

The next photo is both historic and nostalgic.

Burbank, Ca?

barit1 13th Jan 2008 01:35

Given the number of North American Aviation products (F-86, T-6) I'm inclined to say either Inglewood, CA (LAX) or Columbus, OH (CMH) - but I don't know why the military formation in front of the administration building. :confused:

evansb 13th Jan 2008 02:52

Sorry, it is not Burbank/Lockheed, (posted on this thread a few months ago by your's truly), nor is it Inglewood. CA. It is not Columbus, Ohio. I do like it when people identify the state/province/country on their photographs.

KMG 365 13th Jan 2008 09:46

Is it Cartierville Airport in Cartierville, Quebec, Canada?

sabredog 13th Jan 2008 12:36

Parade prior to the wing departing for R.A.F North Luffenham.( Operation Leapfrog). 421 Sqd. left , 416 Sqd. centre and 430 Sqd. right.

Snifferdog 13th Jan 2008 15:12

Could you be a bit more specific?

evansb 13th Jan 2008 17:22

Sabredog is correct:ok: Uplands Airport, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Well done:D You have control.

sabredog 13th Jan 2008 17:47

Thank you, evansb.
Open House, Gentlemen.

Fishtailed 13th Jan 2008 19:56

Sorry, not Lee on Solent.

G-ARZG 13th Jan 2008 20:01

Humberside?

Flap40 13th Jan 2008 20:04

31 at Blackpool.

Interestingly, the Red Arrows are shown parked on 25 on Google earth.

Fishtailed 13th Jan 2008 22:44
