Lightning Mate 28th Aug 2013 11:02

dash7fan 28th Aug 2013 15:00

Not Nötsch oder Niederöblarn, sry

Duckbutt 28th Aug 2013 16:28

How about Zell am See then?

dash7fan 28th Aug 2013 18:05

DB you are correct. Zell am See 1963. Your control

Duckbutt 28th Aug 2013 18:25

Thanks. Think this one is easy but I found it interesting:

a bright blue sky with that little light, I would say somewhere in England.
at least somewhere around 60 degrees latitude.

Dora-9 29th Aug 2013 03:17

Lask, Poland?

Duckbutt 29th Aug 2013 07:21

Good morning! Neither of the above but Dora is closer.

Lightning Mate 29th Aug 2013 08:19

Germany ?

Ramstein?

Duckbutt 29th Aug 2013 08:39

Further from UK than Germany, LM.

Dora-9 29th Aug 2013 09:43

Ponzan, Poland then?

Lightning Mate 29th Aug 2013 09:51

Well, that's a MiG 29 and I feel the F16s are American.

After much searching this could be an exercise in Bulgaria, and the Bulgarian air force has them, in which case Graf Ignatievo Air Force Base would be a likely candidate.

Duckbutt 29th Aug 2013 11:22

Sorry I had to nip out. A perfect description LM and it's all yours.

cuefaye 29th Aug 2013 21:10

LM

Another well 'searched' and slightly disguised GI :sad: Do C'mon mate!

Lightning Mate 30th Aug 2013 06:06

Open House.

evansb 30th Aug 2013 16:21

chevvron 30th Aug 2013 20:24

Talbenny (Wales)?

evansb 31st Aug 2013 00:26

Sorry, not Wales. It is located south of Wales.

Duckbutt 31st Aug 2013 17:20

Is that an upside down aircraft in the beach lying where it has been bulldozed to make more space for operational aircraft evansb?;)

evansb 31st Aug 2013 19:47

Not sure about a bulldozed aircraft, but the photo was taken in 1947. During WW.II damaged aircraft were indeed pushed into the surf. The aerodrome was struck off in 1966, and is no longer visible on Google Earth.

Querqueville, Nomandie.

OH if correct.

evansb 31st Aug 2013 23:55

Querqueville, France, is correct. CGB declared OPEN HOUSE.

DIBO 1st Sep 2013 10:00

Can't hide it's origins, but now a well equipped (ILS/DME) primarily flying school airport.

DIBO 1st Sep 2013 17:52

hint: it's within a 200 miles radius of the previous, Querqueville. And they're in a bit of trouble as the flyingschool providing 75% of the traffic, went bust:uhoh:

chevvron 2nd Sep 2013 00:51

Warsaw Pact styling so maybe East Germany?

dash7fan 2nd Sep 2013 09:20

Merville-Calonne?

DIBO 2nd Sep 2013 10:33

dash7fan spot on !!! It's OH again !

Hello all!

I see some people tread in my domain of choice ;)...

The origins of Merville Calonne are not so clearly visible on this view: it was created as a French "platform of operations" in 1937 (just a grass square), then enormously developed by the Germans around 1941/1942 with three concrete runways, and many hangars/revetments (30+).
As was their standard practice the Germans developed the airfield outside the original french airfield thus leaving the original airfield operational (during Battle of Britain He111 bombers from KG4 and Do17 from KG2 were using the original french airfield).

The photo I join shows clearly the orignal airfield in clear grey and the three german runways....I would have used this one, had the timing been right :)

Quantico/Turner.......

dash7fan 3rd Sep 2013 06:57

Quantico is correct. You have control

sidtheesexist 3rd Sep 2013 14:07

Thank you. Open House folks.

Dora-9 6th Sep 2013 05:26

This thread has gone very quiet. Here's one:

sidtheesexist 6th Sep 2013 06:20

Filton perhaps as its a newly built Bristol Beaufort? In the unlikely event that I'm correct, OH as I'm going to be away for a few days.

Dora-9 6th Sep 2013 07:03

Not Filton. Note the shape of the fin.

chevvron 6th Sep 2013 08:37

Hangar in the background appears to have a sign with a bottom line 'Air Service Ltd' so I'll plump for Heston.(Nice 3 -pointer about to happen)
Note no gun fitted to the turret and no squadron letters. Interesting chimney(?) in the background but no cooling towers so unlikely to be Croydon.
Sorry to ramble on, not much happening at work today!
