Oui, certainement!

Lyon I think it is

Lyon? Non. Je suis desole.

Phalsbourg Airbase?

Sorry, not Phalsbourg, but in the correct region.

C'est possible Metz?

Agreed, Frescaty airbase near Metz.

Search not helped by image being deliberately degraded on Google Earth.

Davidsoffice is correct.:ok: The Armee de l'Air base Metz-Frescaty, France. Your turn.

Think that's the airfield that holds Europe's biggest balloon meet.

OH as unable to reach my pics at present.

To keep the thread going, where might this be?

North Africa? Just a wild stab.....

It is not in Africa

Is in it Australia ?

No, it's not in Australia either.

Andrewsfield?

It's not Andrewsfield - and it's not in the UK.

Cunning. Is it part of the Op FRANTIC set-up? If so, I'm guessing Poltava.

OH if correct.

Well done CGB - Poltava it is.

This was going to be my next photo

And here's an aerial of how it was back then.

Open House has been declared

Tricky challenge. It was instantly obvious (to me) that the B-17s belonged the the 303rd Bomb Group, 8th Air Force, USAAF, so Australia, and Africa were improbable locations. However, lets have a show of hands from all the ppruners who know where Poltava is? Oh, its in Ukraine! Thanks for making that clear.

After putting Australia, I realized the group letters were showing
so looked them up and realised it couldn't be Aus.
