Open House. Too busy flying. :)

Wa-hoo - a chance to post one as I never get the answers in time - sorry it's rather blurred..

24 hours and no attempts so a clue - it's in Europe and the IATA three letter code is distinctly Honda.

Well C16,

I believe it is Crotone Airport or Sant'Anna Airport (Italian Aeroporto di Santa Anna-Crotone) (IATA: CRV, ICAO: LIBC), but Honda is wasted on me :uhoh:.

Yes RegDep - Crotone it is. Honda's 4x4 is named CRV. Over to you.

Blurred, too, but for different reasons

One of the serveral airfields in the vicinity of Foggia, Italy?

Anyone of them especially?

Lucera airfield

Sabredog, Lucera is correct. And this is how it looked 63 years earlier (1944; it closed 1945)

Over to you!

Open House

Moffett Field CA. - East side Hangars 2 and 3. Late 40s or early 50s. OH if correct. LFH

:ok::)

Done! Open House.

I hope the panel will forgive the rather aeroplane-based photograph. Name the aerodrome, no points for the aircraft, but again a bonus point for the year.

Russ.

The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Lancaster at Duxford UK, 4. November 2009.

Aircraft: Correct [PA474] (but nul points)
Date: Nul points
Which Aerodrome: Nul points

(to paraphrase the dreaded song contest)

I see where you got your info from, RegDep, (here) but my challenge is previous to that.

I knew that (I think). The cars are older.

Wild guess (with a little inspiration) 1994, St Athan?

Possibly Speke, 1992?

St Athan ?

Sorry for being late getting back. No, not St Athan nor Speke.

As a clue (if it helps), the date is August 1996.

I'll have a stab at Newquay... As St Mawgan now seems to be...

Civvy cars parked on grass that close to an aircraft manoeuvring area, no standard RAF issue coiled barbed wire in sight, indeed fence appears to be standard civvie airport issue, with cars on grass that close to the tarmac I'd suggest a, very, regional UK civvie airport, I don't know but let's guess at ... Biggin Hill!

Phileas,

I thought of that... As we may now be into assisted-guessing mode, I'm not sure that Biggin accounts for the backdrop - terrain higher than the airfield but pretty long wavelength stuff...

...and what's that structure? Is it a car park under construction, or a building part-made? It sits comfortably with your little civvie airport theory...

I can't get a sun angle as it's the height of summer, nor are the registrations clear enough to work through the local indexes...

Perhaps we might be told whether it's north or south of a line east-west through Pole Hill?

What aerodrome
 

Humberside , Kirmington ? OH if correct, PH.

Sorry, not St Mawgan, Biggin, Humberside nor Kirmington, nor within 50 miles of the Welsh border! (has that comment been removed?)

As a clue, here's a Goggle view looking from the other side of that fence:

Coningsby?

Well done Duckbutt, all yours.

Russ

We all overlooked the obvious didn't we!

Where's this?

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...er/Puzz50a.jpg

Yes, much humiliation...

Farnborough, then?

It's in my gunsight, over the sea off FAF base Cazaux in the eighties!

It kept me amused for a day.;)

Le Bourget?

Neither Farnborough, Cazaux or Le Bourget.

I'm off to bed, see you all in the morning.

Le Mirage à ST-AMAND-MONTROND

In fact not in an aerodrome but in a roundabout (rondelle) near the railway station.

OH if correct, going to bed.

Quite right Reg, I actually came across it when on holiday in the area in the summer. Clearly visible on Google Earth.

My next post was going to be "in a roundabout way this is an slightly unfair challenge".

Open house declared.

Should be easy...

It must be in order for me to get it so quickly!

Pearl Harbour

If so - OH

Can you give me the name of a Field mate?...

Graeme, I think it is Wheeler Army Airfield in Central Oahu. Picture taken by a Japanese bomber on 7 Dec 1941.

Edit: Aah, you made it even easier. Now I know it is.
