If it is Heathrow, it should shirley be Heath Row back then? ;)
|
Well according to the 'properties' of the pic it seems to have been taken in 1944, I don't think there was a 'Heathrow' then!
|
I refer my learned friend to my imminently previous post.

Wrong side of the pond.

Idlewild?
. |
No - not a commercial airport.
============= (edit) - And many from the UK have visited here. ============= ('nother edit) - And it's quite famous, and would be if only by name... |
USA or elsewhere?

USA USA (Gotta have a long enough post, you know, or the server goes tilt...) |
Lakehurst?

Go west, young man...

Long Beach
|
It's now the USAF Museum at Dayton Ohio - Wright-Patterson.
|
LFT has it. It was known as Wright Field at the time.
BTW - the unusual configuration of long buildings in the NE corner may also be seen in post #1333. |
Well, in my time, Patterson Field was located to the NE of Wright Field. AFAIK, Patterson is still active while there is no flying at Wright. OK, it's WPAFB.

Myrtle Beach A.F.B.(KMYR).Boeing 707-330B. N88ZL.18th, October,2003.
|
It's actually now called Myrtle Beach Jetport but the terminal is on the other side of the runway, the 707 is actually on the old ramp of the AFB and without going into too much detail sabredog I only post my own pics on here, if you know what I mean. :ok: Well done.

Open House

seacue sez:
Well, in my time, Patterson Field was located to the NE of Wright Field. And Wright Field (now Area B of WPAFB) is inactive, except for September WWI fly-ins on the grass infield just N of the E-W runway. |

Taupo, NZ?
|
Eagle Airways Viscount so Bermuda I reckon
|
Duckbutt is correct.:ok: The Hamilton, Bermuda control tower/RAPCON, operated by the USAF when this photo was taken, was located across the airfield, about a mile east-northeast of the terminal building. Over to you.

A few years ago this place was not unfamiliar to a bloke called Adolf who had a moustache.
|
Ainring nr Berchtesgarten?
Not hilly enough, surely |
Right continent!
|
Abbeville.
|
Former home of the Abbeyville Kids?
|
Damn, you beat me to it!
|
Russell has it, Abbeville, home of JG 26 the Abbeville Kids commanded by Adolf Galland.
As another clue I was going to say that he had lots of kids with yellow noses. |
Thanks, Duckbutt, here's the next offering.

PFA rally at Wroughton

Too easy!
The floor's yours, Fishtailed. |
|
Is that a Marauder? Doesn't it look like a radial-powered Canberra, eh?
|
Certainly is a B26 Marauder with a P51 and something else........Goxhill?
|
The monoplane in the foreground certainly looks like an early (Allison?) razorback P51.
It reminds me of a story related to me by Paul Poberezny a few years ago: Several decades ago, the EAA were in possession of some rare beasty (the type escapes me, possibly a B25?), and the US National Air & Space Museum were hankering after it like a long dog after a bitch. So they invited Paul to Washington to see if he could be tempted by one of their exhibits as a swap. Whilst perusing the rather anonymous contents of hundreds of 40' containers in 'the back lot', he espied in one the dismantled remains of one of the early prototypes of XP51 (razorback, Allison-powered). So he offered the EAA's prized posession in a straight swap for the contents on "container X"; and offer quickly accepted ny NASM. Before the day was out, Paul had phoned home and arranged a truck headed eastbound from Wisconsin to collect "container X". The next day, all was loaded and west-bound. A slightly more knowledgeable NASM chappie learned of the swap too late; he demanded that the truck be turned around. Paul gave a suitable Churchillean salute as he and the EAA's latest aquisition disappeared westbound. Not too many years later, and after returning the P51 to flying condition, Paul flew it. It now resides (non-flying, but airworthy) in the EAA museaum at Oshkosh. Details here. Oh well, back to the thread, (and I don't know which aerodrome this is). |
Russ - re the P51 in pickie - think its a merlin B version - if you look at top of cowling contour you'll notice the lack of the air intake which the allison variants had. Lokks very much like a merlin nose to me. Happy to be corrected but am reasonably sure. Funny story by the way..........Sorry for thread creep.
If Goxhill is wrong I reckon it might be Atcham..................... |
