Sorry, no, not Hampstead Norris

chevvron 19th Jun 2013 23:32

But it is England?

cuefaye 20th Jun 2013 08:57

Indeed it is chev --

Lordflasheart 20th Jun 2013 10:05

That rules out Oran La Senia mid-1943 then .... :) ..... LFH

Unusual hangar layout for a 'typical' RAF airfield; vague similarity to Shawbury but I'm sure it's not.

cuefaye 20th Jun 2013 11:16

Not Shawbury, not RAF

Phileas Fogg 20th Jun 2013 11:40

Seems to be flat terrain, how about Eastern England, Lincolnshire, East Anglia?

chevvron 20th Jun 2013 13:01

9th Air Force?

cuefaye 20th Jun 2013 14:18

Not Eastern, not the 9th AF

Lightning Mate 20th Jun 2013 14:28

Southern England?

grollie 20th Jun 2013 14:48

Warton Airfield?

chevvron 20th Jun 2013 15:20

I think you're right grollie.

flyingwing 20th Jun 2013 16:18

Holmsley South or Beaulieu?

TheChitterneFlyer 20th Jun 2013 18:00

I reckon grollie is spot-on!

cuefaye 20th Jun 2013 19:01

grollie

Well done! WW2 at Warton. The photo was scanned from the book - The World's Greatest Air Depot; and there at the time the photo was taken was a multitude of kit, mainly US, and a plethora of gliders

grollie 21st Jun 2013 06:16

Well you take it as its a job on am iPhone to doctor images. I only do it for the fun and challenge. I got Warton only because I have it on Fs2004

Lightning Mate 21st Jun 2013 07:25

Don't understand your last post above..............

grollie 21st Jun 2013 08:23

When on our conversation earlier i was just saying how I found out the airfield. I have airfields addon on Fs2004 which is very detailed rather than trying to match up on Google? I'd remembered the layout from doing flights around RAF Woodvale. I will read up on your pm when finished work thanks

MReyn24050 21st Jun 2013 10:28

RAF Wellesbourne Mountford, still active as a civilian airfield now I believe.

grollie 21st Jun 2013 11:23

Spot on YHC

MReyn24050 21st Jun 2013 12:40

MReyn24050 23rd Jun 2013 11:59

No takers? This airport was built in the 1980s.

chevvron 24th Jun 2013 02:28

And destroyed by the mayor of Chicago about 4 years ago? (Don't remember the name)

grollie 24th Jun 2013 06:46

You're not on about Meigs field are you?
Unless heavily altered.
That was opened in the late 1940s.

Lordflasheart 24th Jun 2013 07:00

And I thought I'd got it with Santos Dumont in Rio, but it ain't that either. :* LFH

India Four Two 24th Jun 2013 07:33

Mel,

Can we narrow it down?

Caribbean or South Pacific?

Lordflasheart 24th Jun 2013 09:28

Amami Airport – Amami Oshima 28 26 N 129 45 E ?


(NE of Okinawa - 1/2 way to Japan)


Debiru Samanā Souru Hakkāzu. :E


Velly good challenge Mel-San. :ok: LFH

MReyn24050 24th Jun 2013 12:55

Right part of the world Lordflasheart but not Amami Airport. This one is on the Japanese mainland.


Devil Summoner eh???:)

Lightning Mate 24th Jun 2013 13:03

Oita.........

Lordflasheart 24th Jun 2013 13:31

Well bless my soul - They must have used the same set of plans for both constructions. I should've double checked against the rate of change of variation.:(


Devil Summoner eh???
Not me Chief - apparently they set part of the spooky video game in the Amami Tower.

Reckon you got it LM well done.

MReyn24050 24th Jun 2013 14:18

It is indeed Oita Airport Japan.

Lightning Mate 24th Jun 2013 15:13

I'll have to throw this one to the floor.

OH.

India Four Two 25th Jun 2013 16:59

Not a hi-viz jacket or air-side security pass in sight:

Don't bother with GI. This one is not on the web. :)

sycamore 25th Jun 2013 20:43

India Four Two 26th Jun 2013 01:10

sycamore,

Getting warm, but not Borneo.

Lordflasheart 26th Jun 2013 22:16

Philippines ?

Phileas Fogg 27th Jun 2013 00:14

El Nido by chance?

India Four Two 27th Jun 2013 01:35

pf,

No chance about it! El Nido, Palawan.

Well done. How did you deduce that? Have you been there?

You have control

Phileas Fogg 27th Jun 2013 01:55

I42,

I live here in the Philippines, on Siargao Island, Cloud 9 to be precise, it was the nipa roof and particularly the Do228 that gave me the clues towards El Nido, haven't been there but since arriving in Philippines, being in the tourism industry, I've familiarised myself with airport locations etc.

Here's the next one:
