OK, I will come clean on this one.

That is Mt Connor which is somewhat east of Ayers Rock and this location is NNE of Mt Connor and quite some distance from Curtin Springs airfield, however it is on Curtin Springs station and seeing as it is near my bed time I award you the coconut.

Over to you sir!

John Hill 26th Aug 2013 09:26

Uggh! Why does it have a parallel track each side?

Lordflasheart 26th Aug 2013 09:27

And I was just coming up to Meeka but got delayed by the cricket.

dubbleyew eight 26th Aug 2013 09:29

the parallel tracks are fence lines :E

John Hill 26th Aug 2013 09:35

John Hill 26th Aug 2013 10:02

W8, you need a clue yet?

dubbleyew eight 26th Aug 2013 10:13

...and what would the clue be :E

John Hill 26th Aug 2013 10:20

It will be my bedtime soon so I must give you real easy clues..

first clue..."I found the place very easily":E

John Hill 26th Aug 2013 10:26

Time is running out for me... here is another clue..

"It is not Gisborne":E

dubbleyew eight 26th Aug 2013 10:27

i would never have guessed it was in new zealand. I didnt think you had that many houses.:E

John Hill 26th Aug 2013 10:30

Bed time for me!

No not in NZ!

con-pilot 26th Aug 2013 17:06

As it has a golf course, must have been a USAF Base at least once in its history. :p

dubbleyew eight 26th Aug 2013 17:10

the low resolution of the photo has beaten me. I just cant make out any details.
golf course????

chevvron 26th Aug 2013 17:11

My image is too pixilated to see any detail.

John Hill 26th Aug 2013 19:49

It is not Wynyard in Tasmania either.

John Hill 26th Aug 2013 19:54

Con-pilot, the airport is now civil/military and was once operated by the airforce of an imperial power. Oh! at that time the airport was in another country!:8

John Hill 26th Aug 2013 20:12

Sorry about the quality of the picture Chevron, maybe this one will be useful..

cuefaye 26th Aug 2013 22:08

Oh c'mon you lot, you lost 3-0, but with your friend GI, you know it's Peshawar. Jeez. No chance in the forthcoming :D

John Hill 26th Aug 2013 23:41

Phew! Cuefaye gets the banana! Over to you sir..


Peshawar, where the rails cross the runway (just like Gisborne and Wynyard). Peshawar in Pakistan which was once upon a time in India when it was a RAF base.
Peshawar, one of the airports where PIA, aka Prayers in the Air, aka Pakistani International, does the ground handling.

dubbleyew eight 27th Aug 2013 01:54

if we kept winning the cricket the poms would just slip into third world pessimism.
you've got to give them a win occasionally just to keep them happy as a nation.

btw who is hosting the national paint fading ashes next time?:E

cuefaye 27th Aug 2013 06:31

Crook - so Open House

Dora-9 27th Aug 2013 07:00

Sorry you're not well cuefaye!

My next one then - no longer an airfield now, the hangar is gone but the large building in the background is still there:

dubbleyew eight 27th Aug 2013 07:07

is this in north africa?

Lightning Mate 27th Aug 2013 07:12

Or Sicily ?

Dora-9 27th Aug 2013 08:37

Not North Africa - in Sicily.

Lightning Mate 27th Aug 2013 08:43

Did Patton have anything to do with it?

dubbleyew eight 27th Aug 2013 08:46

gella-farello?

Dora-9 27th Aug 2013 08:53

W8: no.

L-M: Possibly the true reasons for Patton's dismissal occurred here.

dubbleyew eight 27th Aug 2013 09:09

massacre of italian prisoners on ... Biscari Airfield?

Dora-9 27th Aug 2013 10:09

That's impressive, W8. More correctly known as Biscari - San Pietro or just San Pietro, but I'll pay your answer. You have control.

Despite there originally being revetments and a hangar, there is no evidence at all now that there was an airfield here. If you look at Santo Pietro on GE, you can see where the landing area was and also the large building behind the wrecked aircraft (top LH corner of the landing area)..

dubbleyew eight 27th Aug 2013 10:14

I googlated "pattons mistake on crete" he made 3. the 2 slapping incidents were nothing compared to the massacre. so I guessed.

open house.

dash7fan 28th Aug 2013 07:31

As open house
