Dora-9 is correct:ok: You have control.

Hello all!

Could it be in Italy, more precisely in Sicilia?

JV

Almost well Googled!

Trapani-Chinisia

" Abandoned and Little Known Airfields Italy"

No - north Africa.....

Sale Rabat, Morocco.

Off ye go - your thread. :ok:

How about this? Should be quite easy.

Kabul ----

If so, Open House

Sure looks like Kabul, but does the skyline match? If Kabul they have tidied the place up a bit since I was there!

Nice to see the Ariana B727 still apparently operating!:ok:

That scorch mark on the concrete shows where some chap on a bicycle destroyed one of the Taleban's Migs.

Cued aye is correct. They have tidied-up a bit since I was there.

Bhuket before it became Phuket?

Funafuti is close, about 2500kms.

Rarotonga, Cook Islands? Bin there -- I think. OH if so

Hmmm, think I'll take a poke a bit further north - Aitutaki?

Siftydog, you have control. Aitutaki it is.

Sorry for the delay - we're just groaning of bed here in Western Europe. I'll have a scratch around for some old slides, meantime it's OH.

I'm guessing that was an Air Raro bandit in the cockpit photo? The runway certainly looks like an upgrade on 20years ago. If my memory serves me the RNZAF flew a B727 in some moons back, it was big news.

Incidentally, how far from the epicentre was that quake felt in NZ this evening?

I dont know what aircraft that picture was taken from. The runway is quite an upgrade from my time there too, 40 years ago.

The shakes were (are) felt from Auckland to Dunedin although we didnt feel anything here in Ashburton. They are still going on.

Definitely a Bandeirante cockpit.

siftydog has declared OH.

Not as exotic as Kabul, but here goes:

Amberley Qld?

no If I had a better guess I'd say it looked like Bandianna but it appears too flat for that.

Not Amberley.

I suspect that the runways at Amberley were built simultaneously with the rest of the base.

an old shot of oakey in qld?

nah the google earth map points to an old shot of Forrest Hill Wagga Wagga.

Wagga Wagga NSW it is!

It's all yours, W8...

havent got one at the moment so open house.

its a ripper.

is this hawaii post war?
