As it's OH try this one of the tower of this blessed airport.http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/y...ddraig/090.jpg

John Hill 7th Mar 2014 01:16

Hawarden airport near Chester.

Hen Ddraig 7th Mar 2014 01:45

Not Hawarden John, wrong continent.

India Four Two 7th Mar 2014 09:57

St. Catherines/Niagara District Airport CYSN

Hen Ddraig 7th Mar 2014 13:38

India Four Two 8th Mar 2014 03:40

Sorry all, I've been offline. No access to my bag of aerodrome images. Open House

John Hill 8th Mar 2014 04:52

This one should only take a few minutes...

Taieri, NZ South Island?

John Hill 8th Mar 2014 09:10

siftydog 8th Mar 2014 18:16

dash7fan 15th Mar 2014 15:10

Seems to be OH, so the next Airport:

Don't know the exact location, but...airport cafe/bar with conifers in the background...Continental Europe, possibly Germany?

I certainly like the idea of an airfield bistro-bar:

John Hill 15th Mar 2014 23:59

Someone should be able to recogize the label on the beer bottle.

Beer served at airport cafe in 50's/60's, rules out NZ then!

dash7fan 16th Mar 2014 08:44

The Airport is in Europe, but not Germany. 1965

DIBO 16th Mar 2014 12:40

It's a Sabena DC7 and it's not Brussels. Haven't got a clue...

dash7fan 16th Mar 2014 15:03

It is not Lisbon, but southern Europe is ok

evansb 16th Mar 2014 20:52

Naples, Italy ?

oftenflylo 17th Mar 2014 07:21

3 bladed props say DC-6B - not that it helps with location.
stylish railings says Italy

dash7fan 17th Mar 2014 07:39

Sorry for delay, the Airport is not in Italy

evansb 17th Mar 2014 22:07

Okay, the beer label is Spanish, so I'll guess Barcelona?..

dash7fan 18th Mar 2014 07:51

Yes, it is Barcelona 1965. What a place to drink a beer! Glory times!


Over to You

chevvron 18th Mar 2014 10:14

BARCA! (7-0)
Estrella ain't bad either.

evansb 18th Mar 2014 17:28

Here is the next mystery aerodrome:

aerobelly 18th Mar 2014 22:31

How about Brooklands?


'b

evansb 18th Mar 2014 23:37

Sorry, not Brooklands.

sidtheesexist 19th Mar 2014 12:54

V long shot - Hendon?

chevvron 19th Mar 2014 13:18

Worthy Down?

evansb 19th Mar 2014 16:50

Sorry, not Hendon, nor is it Worthy Down. The aerodrome in question is no longer in existence.

Tut tut Bri..............................

chevvron 19th Mar 2014 18:42

Watchfield?

evansb 19th Mar 2014 18:44

Not Watchfield. The mystery aerodrome closed before WW.II. The aerodrome's brief existence is commemorated on a plaque.

chevvron 19th Mar 2014 22:05

The 'Belfast Truss' hangars would indicate British Isles; other than that I don't have a clue but the distinctive road layout may jog someone's memory.

WATB 20th Mar 2014 10:09

Alexandra Park/Hough End. The 504 helped! OH I'm afraid.

buttrick 20th Mar 2014 17:08

Radlett? OH if right

evansb 20th Mar 2014 19:06

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...ps71a25923.gifWATB is correct. In 1919, you could fly from Manchester's Alexandra Park Aerodrome to Blackpool, (South Shore Aerodrome), for a mere 9 Guineas.

Why Britain adopted the Guinea instead of the Pound Sterling I do not know...

WATB has declared OPEN HOUSE, to no one's surprise...



Regarding the Hough End Aerodrome, I stand corrected, as the site is not completely without air traffic. On weekends, the site, (Hough End Playing Fields), hosts radio controlled model aircraft traffic. (See above photo, taken at Hough End Park) Nuff said.

evansb 20th Mar 2014 20:37

People cheat. A lot. I've been informed by no less than two (2) long time ppruners that my photos are easily sourced, so as to enable a quick solution to my challenges. So be it. A gentleman with morals would avert their eyes...
Cheaters cheat. Who knew? Eff you to all who cheat.

cuefaye 20th Mar 2014 21:35

I suspect then that there'll be only you and one or none others left to contribute. Myself included of course.

evansb 20th Mar 2014 22:50

Correct!:ok: Play Pink Floyd's "Brain Damage" now..

Hen Ddraig 21st Mar 2014 01:25

As it's open house again try this one taken by my front right seat passenger about five years ago.
