Sorry folks, just returned, open house at this time!

BEagle 23rd Aug 2012 21:00

Since no-one else has stepped in, I offer you:


TheChitterneFlyer 24th Aug 2012 06:25

Witney Aerodrome (Universal Aircraft Serrvices).

Open House if correct.

TCF

BEagle 24th Aug 2012 07:55

Correct! It is indeed the old Witney aerodrome, now an industrial estate.

An easy one:

Used to take my kids to Pollensa as the beach was so shallow and ideal for tots.

Pollensa Mallorca?

BEagle 24th Aug 2012 11:41

Si, seņor, it is indeed the old flying boat base at Puerto Pollensa, Mallorca:


I can recall staying at the nearby Hotel Illa D'Or and watching those Do24s chugging about in the late 1960s. If the water was calm, they used to have to charge around the bay to stir it up a little before taking off.

A champagne cocktail in 'Bar Katy' cost 1/- back then! Sadly Katy herself passed away about 40 years later.

You have control....

aviate1138 24th Aug 2012 13:12

Thank you Sir,

Open House

PS Do24 and turbine variants look 'right' don't they?

BEagle 24th Aug 2012 19:43

Yes, the Do24 is very elegant!

My last Open House, then it'll be someone else's turn:


jindabyne 24th Aug 2012 19:45

THAT, is so obvious that I shan't reply!!

TheChitterneFlyer 24th Aug 2012 21:01

If it's THAT obvious... I won't bother guessing! WTF?

sycamore 24th Aug 2012 23:16

Somewhere in Texas...?

aviate1138 25th Aug 2012 06:01

Phoenix AZ I think - Hassayampa Field looking a little worse for wear these days or did around 1996 even

BEagle 25th Aug 2012 06:13

Not Hassayampa Field......

sabredog 25th Aug 2012 06:50

Luke Field Auxiliary Airfield,Arizona,U.S.A.

BEagle 25th Aug 2012 07:27

Of which there were many, including Hassayampa Field.....:hmm:

aviate1138 25th Aug 2012 07:29

No 6 Goodyear Field is the most likely.

BEagle 25th Aug 2012 08:15

It is indeed Luke Aux AF No.6 (Goodyear Field). As, presumably, jindabyne knew...?


An overhead from 2011, showing the ever-encroaching residential areas...

YHC, aviate1138. But you are expected to contribute a challenge of your own this time.

jindabyne 25th Aug 2012 08:30

Of course dear chap!

aviate1138 25th Aug 2012 11:02

Jindabyne's prize. However if BEagle says I HC then so be it.....

It looks like one of a dozen boreal forest airstrips in Canada's north. Anything significant about the location?
