Not UK; South America?
|
Australia ?
|
Somewhere warm. Doesn't look very North American but as a long shot maybe Red Flag? So Nellis.
|
RAAF Base Pearce (Bullsbrook) Western Australia? Later doing a bit of digging the apron doesn't look right for Pearce so instead I'll have a crack at RAAF Butterworth?
|
Yes descol

Darwin Northern T

Well that knocks Butterworth out - so I'll have a go at RAAF Laverton? - and I'll also throw in my original guess of RAAF Pearce because this Vulcan was there circa 1968.

Richmond NSW
|
Well I'll try RAAF Edinburgh...?

descol is on the money, RAAF Richmond in 1968.

Are we near the sea?
|
yes - we are
|
Perhaps in the Pacific some years ago when this was the spare deck for Cassidy - Aeon on Kiritimati?
|
Aeon it is Mg - I had posted this several years ago - the Vulcan from last post prompted a repost as Kritmass was synonymous with the aircraft
you have control Descol |
Thanks - I've had this picture I took in mid 2019 when I did the airport inspection waiting on my desktop for a chance to post it as a challenge. Credit to the original construction team - apart from the grass clumps the surface is good. Now I'll need to find another!! Standby while I search my flies. In the mean time I would be very interested in chatting with anyone who has used the strip or has pictures of aircraft there.

The time is 0 dark hundred and we were well clothed for the destination and about to board for an exciting and fun filled couple of days. But before we departed the crew had breakfast - toast, jam and a strange smelling clear liquid!
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....c93ca98f05.jpg I'm off to bed and will be back on line at about the same time (local at this airport) the picture was taken. . |
