It is in Germany

nvubu 19th Nov 2012 12:07

Southern half

It goes by a few different names. It has an ICAO code, is purely military, but not for much longer.

Lechfeld, Bavaria ?

nvubu 19th Nov 2012 19:26

It's certainly in Bavaria, but you are too far south.

nvubu 19th Nov 2012 19:41

I've just found this plan of the aerodrome from 1943 - hope this helps

Bavaria eh ? If the road south leads to Weissenburg-in-Bayern, the road north must lead to .... Roth ?

(tricky - not really convinced yet) LFH

LFH - Well done

Roth (ETHR) / Otto Lilienthal Barracks it is.

Over to you.

Lordflasheart 20th Nov 2012 08:26

Thank you Hippo. Roth/Bavaria/Germany. I wouldn't have got it without the Bavaria clue or the the smudged signpost on the plan drawing.

Op Frantic - what a story.

Here's the next - not a great pic - bit low on stock. LFH

Elvington?

Lordflasheart 20th Nov 2012 13:01

Not Elvington (Near York, England) Not with all them thar' lakes, Chevy. Not England.

Time for a clue ?

Europe - ex-military "regional" airport RW 16/34 - LFH

dixi188 22nd Nov 2012 19:47

Northern Europe perhaps?
Sweden has lots of N/S runways.

Lordflasheart 22nd Nov 2012 21:55

It's more like mittel Europa Dixi - with a touch of east. There's a couple of rusty migs loafing on GE. LFH

chevvron 23rd Nov 2012 08:23

Poland maybe?

Lordflasheart 23rd Nov 2012 08:43

Otepluje. Česká republika, soudruhu Chevvron. LFH

Hradec Králové Airport, soudruhu Lordflasheart?

Lordflasheart 23rd Nov 2012 09:16

Správně, soudruhu Capot. Hradec Králové Airport Čechy, Česká republika.
Máte kontrolu.

Hradec Kralove Airport, East Bohemia, Czech Republic

One of the oldest settlements in the Czech Republic - Hradec (the Castle) Králové (of the queen) named for Elizabeth Richeza of Poland, 1286–1335, one time a wife of King Wenceslaus II.

Sorry about the undistinguished photo - one of those panorama snappers that make it look like looking thru a letter-box.

Capot has control. LFH

Capot 23rd Nov 2012 09:20

Thank you, LFH.

I've only got a rather easy one; been done before,
I think, but as a later incarnation....
