Warnemünde?

Not Warnemünde,warmtoast, but you are getting "warm" in a geographical sense, and by that I don't mean a ridiculous 1400 miles or so !

Gosh - this has me confused!
A circle drawn 1400 miles from Rostock runs through Southern Spain so is your non-clue actually a clue? - and perhaps these aircraft were photographed somewhere in Spain during the Spanish Civil War? In which case I've no idea where it could be so far south.

Otherwise how about Wismar in Germany?

Warmtoast, apologies if I did not make myself clear,you are on the right track in Germany, so please disregard the 1400 mile radius jibe. It refers to a recent post.The town/city adjacent to this airfield featured in the Thirty Years War, and the airfield also has a tenuous link to Yuri Gagarin!

Northern Germany, tenuous link to Gagarin? Peenemunde??

Sabredog

Town featured in the Thirty Years War is the Treptow-Köpenick area of Berlin; Gagarin did some training at the Archenhold Observatory / Zeiss Planetarium here and what was the the former Johannisthal airfield is now a business park/industrial park.

So sticking my head above the parapet once again I suggest Johannisthal.

Warmer still,Twochai. A good line of thought, but not Peenemunde.

Sorry,Warmtoast, not Germany's first airfield,Johannisthal.

Neubrandenburg ? Although I don't know the airfield's connection to Yuri Gagarin.

Correct, evansb. The photograph is of Trollenhagen as a Luftwaffe base, which later became Neubrandenburg-Trollenhagen.
As a DDR airfield it was the base for JG2 (Jagdfliegergeschwader 2 "Juri Gagarin"). Neubradenburg was recaptured from the Swedes by the Imperial Catholic League forces in 1631, although I do not believe Trollenhagen airfield played any part in this victory!
Many thanks for the excellent replies.

Thanks sabredog. That was an enjoyable challenge. Here is the next aerodrome:

First clue: The airport is not in North America.

Dubrovnik Cilipi in Croatia - recognise those hills anywhere.

Open House if I am correct!

I think its Sarajevo

I agree with minuteman.

Here's what Dubrovnik looks like today

minuteman is spot on:ok: Dubrovnik, Croatia it is. As he says, it is open house.

An easy one for a change!

You got it in one - I knew it was too easy!

Your date is slightly out; I took the photo in late 1958 as I flew in from Gan.

Your turn.

Warmtoast will pm you later.

Here is another easy one

Raf Wildenrath?

Not Wildenrath

Is it a NATO base?

Very much so

Ramp 'G' at CFB Cold Lake, Alberta ? Photo taken during Exercise 'Maple Flag'.

Evansb Correct it is 419 squadron Moose Meadows at CYOD (for the full cigar it was Maple Flag XXI June '88)

You have control!

Thanks Wunper. Here is the next one:

Looks like NAS Kodiak, with PBY-5A's and Chance Vought OS2U Kingfishers, probably of VS70??

While a Kingfisher may be a water bird, and visible somewhere in the picture, I know that the planes sharing the ramp with the two PBY's are Ducks! :rolleyes: :hmm:

C2j

Sorry it is not NAS Kodiak. The Ducks do look cold, don't they?

Are the Ducks from 10th Air Rescue Group?

If so, I'll have a stab at Cordova.

NAS Sitka, AK

NAS Adak??

Sorry gents. It is not Sitka, Cordova nor Adak. That leaves little else doesn't it?

Dutch Harbour?

sabredog is correct:ok: Dutch Harbour, Alaska was the site of a battle between Japanese and American forces during WW.II. You have control.

Thank you. Open House.

Excuse another pigboat, but it really was the best of the boats.

Catalina??

Yup, otherwise designated as the PBY-5A, but known to all and sundry as the 'Pigboat' - with good and sufficient reason, I can confirm.

The question on this forum is: "Which Airport"?
