I'll give you it StbD:D- It's actually BAN(Base Aero Navale) Aspretto.
It was originally a seaplane base(Cam 5s & PL15s), then after the war became a base for Breguet Alizes. Nord 262s are based there now I believe.

It is or was, a training base for the French SAS equivalent.

The land based airfield is now, as StbD guessed, LFKJ Ajaccio/Campo Del Oro.

Carry on chaps;)

Cheers Andy. Right neighborhood at least!

Next challenge:

Considering the number of (apparently) Lockheed 10s (or 12s) - could it be Burbank?

Thank you STbdD..don't know how I missed that!! :rolleyes:

N.A.S /RCAF Argentia,Newfoundland? (Hudsons)

After searching around on the net it would seem that Sabredog is correct.

Bit of thread drift, my searching was hampered by the fact that the vehicles are all driving on the left but research following Sabredog's post shows that Newfoundland did not switch to driving on the right until 1947.

OK, carry on!

Shall we have the courtesy to wait and see what StbdD has to say?

Spot on saberdog :ok: . The floor is yours.

Thank you,StbdD. Open House.

Quite right S'dog, no offence intended, it was just an unthinking spontaneous post.

None taken , Duckbutt. On with the show, and please check your P.M.s

I think I still owe you guys some challenges, so:

Berlin Schonefeld SXF?

Tripoli/Idris?

Not Berlin nor Tripoli

Lusaka Airport?

Sabredog, you're way too good at this! Lusaka it is.
Congrats!

Thank you, Moira. Just lucky really, all the clues are in the photograph somewhere. The B.AC. 1-11 gave a very good lead.
Open House.

London Ashford (the original one not the present one) otherwise known as Lympne

See what you mean now JENKINS; too many hard runways for Lympne/Ashford.

Well done Jenkins - Balado Bridge it is - I cropped out the givaway 'golf ball' radar. :ok:

As it appears to be open 'ouse, I'll sneak in with this one...

Would that be the French Navy at Landivisiau?

Bu99er me, that was quick! Oui, C'est Landivisiau....

;) the Crusaders gave it away Andy.

Would New Zealand be wide of the mark?

Wellington.

Sorry, not in New Zealand.

Dunno where it is, but the taxiway builder needs a new plumbline I think:}

Seems time for a hint. These are B-25s of the USAAF Fifth Air Force over the aerodrome in question....

Lae Airport?

Changing areas; Martinique?

On target sabredog! It is Lae airport before an experiment in improving runway efficiency by installing a roundabout. ;)
