Australia mate?

Oz changed the design of the Beaufort fin - so it has to be in Oz.

At first I thought of Fishermens Bend, Victoria

But if that's the Kingsford Smith Air Service hangar in the background, I'll plump for Mascot, Sydney ---

It's Mascot and a DAP Beaufort - well done Cuefaye!

The caption to the photo reads "Beaufort T9541, the first aircraft assembled at the Dept of Aircraft Production's GAF at Mascot, taking off on its first flight on 20 October 1941." Actually I rather think it's landing. It's using the old 12/30 runway, traces of which could still be seen in the 1970's as a taxiway before it was swallowed up by what was then the Ansett tarmac/terminal/aerobridges etc.

Over to you....

Thanks Dora

Have to exit my patch for rest of day, so OH I'm afraid. Sorry

I'm not checked out on Beauforts, but at a guess, I'd say you wouldn't use that much flap for takeoff.

Or that much up elevator....

Actually Chevvron, given the type's dire reputation with the RAAF, maybe you should be grateful that you're not checked out?

I think ist open house:

No takers until now...

It is in Europe

I thought Antwerp at first, but I don't think it is.

Poznan, EPPO. Looking down 11...

OH if correct!

Two days! It clearly can't have been available via GI or LM would have "researched" it by now. ;)

PS What's the aircraft?

Minuteman Poznan is corret, so OH

India four two its a Dash 8 - 300

'On the glidepath well right of centreline correcting slow'.
[Sorry it's my ATCO instincts.]

Visual Approach, landing was perfect (by copi), nobody hurt, a/c ok, returnflight on schedule :)

Here's another...

Saturday morning clue.
 

We're in the south of France, names on the map....

http://i44.tinypic.com/2e561c7.jpg

The name 'Istres' stands out.

It sure does. Your control Chevvron. :ok:

And I thought he'd put the red triangle on Marignane to give us a bit of a clue Chevy.

World calling Chevvron.....

Do you have anything for us?

Sorry for the delay chaps; managed to smash my screen hence couldn't read it!
Open House anyway.

Here is the next mystery aerodrome:

Hawkins Field, Betio

Yes, Hawkins field, :ok:, Betio atoll, Tarawa Group, Gilbert Islands, Republic of Kiribati, in the South Central Pacific. Site of a fierce 3-day battle between U.S. Marines and the Imperial Japanese during WW.II.


cuefaye has control.

evansb,

Google Image Search is not your friend.

As has been said many times LM ---

Open House

Here's one...

Fife Glenrothes.

Spot on mate. Your control. :ok:

OH, I'm afraid.

Another easy one for the Googliers...

Looks like Rongotai, Wellington. Oldie days - new airfield not built, or my friend's house on the hill behind.

OH if so.

Rongotai it is, you have control.

an unkind person would blank out the rego and make it hard.
I left it in to make it harder :E

Assuming that the N rego is a furphy - is this Serpentine WA?

Dora you're amazing. spot on.

your windsock.....

OK, waving my windsock - the photo is dated 21 July 1943:

Remember seeing a similar hill at Vieux Fort (Hewanorra) Airport, St. Lucia.
[OH in the unlikely event I'm right].

Sorry ICT SLB, a long long way from St Lucia (but the hill - a ridge actually - is a good clue)...

How about Townsville (Garbutt) airfield.

The nose art shows the aircraft to be "Miss Giving" of the 380th BG.
See MISS GIVING for the aircraft's history.
They operated from Fenton airstrip near Darwin, but Google does not show any decent ridges nearby at that location.
However, Townsville was/is a military airfield with a substantial ridge in the circuit area and I expect the aircraft passed through there at some stage.
