Pardon me, but aren't the "rules" of this game that only the winner of the previous challenge should post the next challenge or specifically offer Open House?

Correct, but Chevron has declared open house so I guess JB007's second post is "legal"

On another matter, can someone point me to the list of airfield that have already been posted?

List as at 16 Nov 2007

Given that I believe that my guess of Wick was correct for JB's last post, here is the next one.
Not a lot to go on but it is UK 1930's

Flap40's challenge
 
Might be Folkstone Airfield, I know the aircraft is the Spartan Cruiser

Flap40 28th Nov 2007 21:17

Not Folkstone - further north.

Aircraft ID is correct though.

Moondance 28th Nov 2007 22:39

Is it Renfrew?

Flap40 28th Nov 2007 22:47

Yes it is Renfrew. If you put "Spartan Criser" into google images then this is the first omage that you get:eek:

Moondance 28th Nov 2007 23:02

And there's me flicking through old fashioned books to find Renfrew pictures....next one (what is it about airfields and graveyards?)

Moondance challenge
 
Is it Broadford Airport, (SKF), Isle of Skye?

Moondance 29th Nov 2007 08:26

Broadford it is (is it still open?) Well done evansb

evansb 29th Nov 2007 15:16

Thanks Moondance. A company was planning on Dash-7 service way back in 2003, but I haven't heard of any current sked carriers into Broadford recently. The airport operator is listed with a tel: 01478 612727, fax: 01478 612255. Here is the next 'Which Aerodrome?'

New boy here. Is it time for a clue after 24 hours, evansb?

My guess is Northern hemisphere, probably North American continent and, judging by the length of runway, lack of dispersals and size of car parks - a manufacturing base?

evansb 30th Nov 2007 16:03

The airport is in the United States, and it was the home of an aircraft manufacturer.

Evans's chalenge
 
Looks like William T Piper Airport in Lock Haven PA.
Floor open if I deserve it.

evansb 30th Nov 2007 17:31

Sorry, not Piper's plant in Pennsylvania.

Flap40 30th Nov 2007 17:55

Hughes, Culver City California.

evansb 30th Nov 2007 18:05

Flap40 is correct:ok: The Hughes Airport was at one time the largest private airport in the U.S. The runway wasn't paved until after WW.II.
The giant Hughes H-4 "Hercules" flying boat was built there, and trucked to the harbour at Long Beach. The airport was closed in 1985. Hughes also built this giant there.
You have control.

Well done Flap40. I was getting there slowly. Last went there in a Citation in 1980
