A bit quieter place….

Looks like a place that gets a lot of white stuff in winter; USA or N Eu/Scandi..?

RegDep 28th Sep 2011 19:25

Not really, as far as I understand (re snow). Trees are not spruce.

Europe but not North.

sycamore 28th Sep 2011 21:38

Could be in France,perchance..?

RegDep 29th Sep 2011 05:59

Same latitude but more Eastern longitude.

TheChitterneFlyer 29th Sep 2011 06:32

Somwehere in the Ukraine?

RegDep 29th Sep 2011 07:08

Not that far East.

BTW GiggleEarth is not very helpful. Very low resolution in the area.

aviate1138 29th Sep 2011 08:28

I would have a wild stab at Slovakia?

Zilnia area? Trencin maybe?

RegDep 29th Sep 2011 09:00

Distance from Slovakian border more than from Ukrainian border……

Edit: Hang on. Aerodromul Aviasport……..

Piatra Neamț in Romania...

RegDep 29th Sep 2011 09:28

Piatra Neamț in Romania is correct Father Dick Byrne :D.

Over to you :ok:

Father Dick Byrne 29th Sep 2011 09:50

Many thanks, here's the new challenge...

Happy to bring more clues along if they seem necessary...

By the way, I looked for the rules on posting different views of aerodromes already featured (I seem to recall that it's permitted if the view is novel) but couldn't find them. Can anyone help please?

evansb 29th Sep 2011 12:56

Do those power transmission towers lead to something historic or nostalgic?

Father Dick Byrne 29th Sep 2011 13:07

I would say "not especially, to my knowledge", but your own 'historic or nostalgic' may not be mine!

dixi188 29th Sep 2011 13:26

I'm thinking London City?

Father Dick Byrne 29th Sep 2011 13:37

dixi,

I suspect the Do328 gave it away a bit! You're quite right, and YOU HAVE CONTROL.

dixi188 29th Sep 2011 13:46

Thanks, I thought it was a Dash 8.

Nothing to post at the moment.

Must sort out those boxes of old slides sometime!

Open house.

descol 29th Sep 2011 15:11

Liobian 29th Sep 2011 15:43

Methinks Galway - if correct, OH

CharlieOneSix 29th Sep 2011 15:59

Maybe Kirkwall?

descol 29th Sep 2011 16:01

not galway or kirkwall

sisemen 30th Sep 2011 01:07

Macrihanish?

Whispering Giant 30th Sep 2011 07:59

Ronaldsway - Isle of Man

descol 30th Sep 2011 08:12

You are all obiviously in the right part of the world - with 'Liobian' very close !

Father Dick Byrne 30th Sep 2011 08:38

Inis Mór, perhaps?

descol 30th Sep 2011 08:56

Yes - Father Dick - you got it- are you a 'father' of the priesthood ?

spook 30th Sep 2011 08:57

Possibly Shannon?
(I'm too late and wrong!)

Father Dick Byrne 30th Sep 2011 09:16

Thank you Descol,

You would have to seek confirmation from my colleagues, Fathers Ted, Jack, and Dougal (should you travel to Craggy Island), or Bishop Brennan himself! (If the Bishop mentions the money, it was simply resting in my account, as I have told him so often...).

Here's the new challenge:

GAT Malaga
 
wild guess, as I am bored...


OH

Glf

Father Dick Byrne 30th Sep 2011 09:28

Well, I really hoped that the mix of registrations, and the careful cropping of the San Miguel building, would have made it a more interesting challenge!

Gulfstreamaviator has declared OPEN HOUSE

Here is a mystery 'drome:

Jersey Brow looking south west towards Laffans Plain.

evansb 30th Sep 2011 16:37

No, not according to the caption. Here is another view taken about two decades later:

Moaskar Aerodrome, Ismailia, Egypt. c:a 1917

evansb 30th Sep 2011 18:12

RegDep is correct.:ok: RAF Ismailia. Your turn.

RegDep 30th Sep 2011 18:46

Thank you Brian!

Ahem, well… The caption says Aerodrome.

http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/...30um192610.png

evansb 30th Sep 2011 20:00

Are we supposed to name the ship, harbour or the aircraft type that was catapult launched?

RegDep 30th Sep 2011 20:04

The caption calls it a ship transformed to an aerodrome, so ship name would do. I don't even know the harbour :O.…..

Noyade 30th Sep 2011 22:31


so ship name would do.
This ship....?

Was the "catapultee" a Wal?
