Decimomannu?

No mate, but we're getting closer, head South East...

Luqa, Malta??

The former Italian F-104 base at Trapani on the west coast of Sicily.

Sicily, but not Trapani. Go East...

Comiso airfield ?

Not Comiso, but we're getting closer. We need to go north now. It's just a little north of "Lago di Lentini" and is/was a Naval Air Station.

The photograph is of a Harrier T.2 XW275 taken in 1969.

Could this be NAS Sigonella. I suspect the Harrier is XW175 there were only two T2's in 1969 and XW 174 was destroyed in June 1969. There never was an XW275. In 2011 XW 175 was still in storage at Boscombe Down.

Try this one
Sorry about the delay, flew Manchester/Toronto this morning, its been a long day

Well it's 24 hours since.

Not Manchester.

Not Toronto.

Clue, please.

Not Buffalo which is were I've been all day.
But it is North America, taken on a good visibility day.

Time for some more detail.
Originally a 1942 military airfield with 3 runways, an additional 10,001 ft runway added in 1954. Military finally left in 1995. The airfield is now civilian and has been used for filming parts of "Fast and furious" in 2001 and "The aviator" in 2004.

Nice clues! :ok:

Possibly here then?....

San Bernardino International Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

G'day LM. Where On Earth have you been mate?

Thanks Hen.
An easy one in return then.

"Look James, is that an aerodrome?!"....

Rio/Santos Dumont. With better definition you would be able to see the international airport in the left background; it's on that 'island' just above the bridge.

Open House!

For added points what type of aircraft is shown taking off from the airport in the movie?

As far as I recall (I only saw Moonraker once when it was first released about 30 years ago, but visited Rio in 2002) it was a Stratocruiser converted to a freighter but not a Guppy conversion.

Clue : Buffalo Joe owns a couple.

Sorry never heard of him.

Electra! :)

Well done Chevron - Open House!

Buchel Fliegerhorst Air Base, Germany ?

It is Germany, but not Buchel. More in the southern part.

Ah, an L-Spatz, complete with a rubber band. ;)

The first single-seater I ever flew. Upwind penetration was not one of its strong points, although a friend of mine nearly completed a 300 km triangle in one, which was pretty good going.

Landsberg-Lech air base, Germany ?

Not far away, appr. 30 NM in one runwaydirection from Lagerlechfeld.

Neuburg an der Donau, EDSU?

If correct then I would like to defer to evansb. The only ability on my part was being able to measure 34.5 statute miles in a bing map in a direction of 030 (couldn't find anything in a direction of 210).

Dave

Direction 210 from Lagerlechfeld is correct. Distance from Landsberg/Lech is app. 16 NM.


It is not Neuburg. This aerodrom was mainly a trainigsfield.

Kaufbeuren Air Base?

evansb or OH if correct as my only skill in finding it it the ability to measure distances on bing maps.

Dave

It is Kaufbeuren 1960, OH or evansb.

Here is the next challenge:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...ps6076fc62.jpg

Er Germany maybe?

Er...nope. Not Germany.

Then how about "The Cool Pool"?

Indeed. Goose Bay?

Not CFB Cold Lake, Alberta. It is Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador, Newfoundland, Canada. CGB has it!

Sorry for the delay, been doing a bit of time travel today (or was it tomorrow? :zzz: )

Sorry, it has to be OH I'm afraid.
