Now that WAS off the beaten track - thank you

Interesting list of fares "£100 in 1933 is equivalent in purchasing power to about £7,341.46 today" so 2 pax t o London = £ 1400 today - not too bad really...

I've been on here quite a bit recently so I'll let someone else have a go

OPEN HOUSE :ok:

When I visited Llandrindod Wells in the 1970s I was amused to see the sign on Tom Norton's Automobile Palace still offering Aeroplanes. We wondered how many he'd sold and how long ago, but had no time to find out.

I suspect this is rather easy for the experts.....type is obvious, but where? The picture is dated 18/August/1938, as a clue.

Puttin’ hole lane?

well it's a Heyford so lets try Upper Heyford?

Is it Mildenhall - if not on the airfield then in the locality ?

I can't find the rule about pausing, but no point in prolonging it...... probably too easy.

Yes, Mildenhall, right in the middle, evidence of either my father's over-enthusiastic braking, or even landing with brakes on. His immediate and fast-thinking claim of a "soft patch of earth" was dismissed when no such patch was found.

Your controls.

Not that easy Old not Bold - I just came across a distant memory if you know what I mean - nudge nudge wink wink.... Thank You !

Open House

THIS MAY BE A GIFT FOR SOME
 

Not my usual tramping ground but I did visit for a brief consultancy

a few years ago.

N America?

Not that part of the world. There is a WW II connection to the location but not the aerodrome.

The view towards to aerodrome probably does not help but it will show that the obstruction light has a purpose.

Might it be Christmas Island YPXM airport in the Indian Ocean?

And you might be correct. Yes - Christmas Island. Over you CW. .

When I did some research for potential clues I found that it was occupied by the Japanese for three years during the war to access the phosphate.

View looking north.

I thought that looked familiar......

Alas nothing to offer here, so OPEN HOUSE.

Try this one...

Silverstone.
OH if correct.

Gramsden Lodge seems to fit the layout, and was used for motor racing in 1946/7

nvubu has it with R.A.F. Gransden Lodge. Home of RCAF Pathfinders during WW2, and host for post-war motor racing in 1947. Now hosts Cambridge Gliding Centre (formerly Cambridge University Gliding Club), and a couple of clay pigeon shooting clubs...

nvubu has control.

Thank you - that's the second motor racing circuit challenge I've got right.

Now for today's aerodrome:
