Thanks Phil.

It could be said that this has been done before, but it hasn't ----

Hey, I remember that! :) The AWM called it Minchinhampton.

Open House if it is.
Cheers.

Prezactly Noyade. Minchinhampton until 1920, closed, then re-opened in 1938 as RAF Aston Down. Apologies for the slight confusion and unintended repetition.

Blimey! Nobody else got a look in.

Looks like Vietnam?

Phu Cat?

C2j

Cubs

Vietnam yes. Phu Cat no.

LM

Wake up man.

Tuy Hoa?

C2j

Why? I don't recognise it, or is that a very subtle clue?

edit: or do you mean an F4 base?

Sorry Cubs, not Tuy Hoa

Phan Rang ?

Well recognised - Phan Rang it is. Home to No2 Sqn, RAAF, c.1967

LM, YHC

I have nothing which is not GI proof, so would have to resort to Google Earth.

Is that acceptable? It's only supposed to be fun.

Pre Tennis 'n BBQ -----

RAF Masirah?

Sorry Phil, not Masirah.

How about Bayhan or Beihan?

Neither of those I'm afraid

RAF Khormaksar?

Not Khormaksar spook

Clue - an appealing end

Not Embakasi - and 'tis a 208 aircraft.

Answer is in my clue

Aerodrome
 

would it be RAF Salalha,east of Aden?

Farwania also known as Kuwait New?

Amman Marka it is Jenks! Oct/Nov 1958 during the withdrawal of British forces from Jordan. 208 Hunters and a 70 Sqn Hastings.

Amman Marka is where Abu Qatada's deportation flight from UK ended, following the end of his appeal process - hence my clue: an appealing end :)

You have the stone ---

I've been absent for a while, and as it's open house, here's the next mystery aerodrome.

One side:

The other side:

And then looking out across the aerodrome

Hunters at Marka
 

I was standing at almost the exact spot that the picture was taken three days ago, just before the homecomming.

It has changed, the hills are still there, but 100% covered with housing.

There are a few hunters in the "Museum" at the airport, I will try to get the serials and pictures, from a closer distance than the picts I have at present, (runway).

Glf

Thought there might have been some suggestions as to the continent.

Anyway - this is what is going at this location.

With the end result.

Another photo clue later on.

A refurbishment base obviously.

Gura sir, Egypt ?

You're right with the name - Gura Air Depot (15°01'17.53" N 39°02'22.33" E) - but it's in Eritrea, not Egypt.

You have control.

Thank you kindly.

I'm afraid it will have to be Open House.

This shouldn't take long ---

Khormaksar ?

Sorry LM, not Khormaksar

Told you!!

All yours Jenks

Open House?
One to fill the gap:-

Budaörs. The KLM DC3 is interesting - as I understand it this aircraft was shot down in June '43 with the actor Leslie Howard on board.

It is indeed Budapest Airport:ok: You are correct regarding Leslie Howard, he was killed on 1st june 1943 on BOAC Flight 777, Lisbon to Bristol. the aircraft was DC-3 G-AGBB which had been KLM's PH-ALI

Thank you Sir. Here is the next...
