"""Brittany??"

Bit further west."


I'd love to hear your navigation instructions to a pilot or a driver
if a "bit further west" is half way across the world :O

Well done evansb, not an easy one :ok:

Here's another view taken heading north with most of the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in view -

500N, apologies, but by 'a bit further west' I meant North America.

P.S. In my first pic there looks to be a widebody aircraft parked just adjacent the runway midpoint.

Thank you. Here is the next mystery aerodrome:

Is this one also near Chesapeake Bay?

evansb 17th Oct 2012 00:01

No. Aerodrome not in the U.S.A.

500N 17th Oct 2012 00:06

Do you at least want to give us a country or area of a continent
to start with ?


I suppose if it is not the USA, it's a "little bit east" ?:O

evansb 17th Oct 2012 03:25

A little bit north.

Lots of weird names associated with this 'resort'.

Tyendinaga Airport

Camp Mohawk

originally Deseronto Airport in the first world war.

A pal lives nearby.

Here is a photo one one of Canada's earliest aerodromes:

This has been my favourite thread on prune. However, the way the 'game' is currently played, is IMVHO, taking the fun and skill out of it.......I appreciate that I'm probably in a minority of one, but here goes (without any intention to cause personal offence). Firstly, shouldn't it be down to the person in 'control' to start posting clues, when he/she feels as though those guessing need a helping hand? Secondly, it seems at times as though we're playing the kiddies' 'yes/no' game. Is it Canada? Is it Botswana? etc etc. Finally, why do guessers feel the need to post their initial thoughts on geographical location, era, military or civil, favourite beer etc etc.? It takes most if not all, of the fun out of it. MODs your thoughts? Anyone share my views? If not, I'll crawl back into my box.

500N 18th Oct 2012 16:24

It's a free world ! I can understand your point of view.

I did a quick look back over the "game" and from the early pages all the way through and people have been asking questions like "Botswana ?"Is it guessing or trying to refine the search area based on clues we have already gleaned from the photo ?

The other thing from my perspective, I don't ask for clues unless I have had a real good look at all of the clues in the photo first and used them to do some searching. Some clues you don't see at first ! Then if I am stuck I'll ask - No point in looking in Brittany if it is a "little bit west" in the USA :O

On the other hand, having the photo sit around for a week with no responses
gets a bit boring IMHO although I understand some people only log on once a week.

Re ...Current Challenge
 
Not Cleveland Hopkins. Gulfstreamaviator may have it but needs to confirm which airport as i am not familiar with the Macy's connection
