A clue to keep things moving......the home team's flag is flying...

Juventus? (Torino)

Capot 23rd Nov 2012 18:12

Sorry, not Juventus..

Photo was taken in the '60's; the airfield was in use for scheduled flights then and in the '70s, although this baffled many people....maybe later than that but I don't know.

Capot 23rd Nov 2012 20:55

Hmmm...I thought it would go quickly. If you found the 2 clues so far baffling, you could try a casino gamble at the name.....

It's Stars n Stripes that's getting me. More delving, I like this game, and I don't historical data bases.

Ostend - Middelkerke ??

Capot 24th Nov 2012 09:00

Not Ostende, but not all that far away....

A converted DC4 was written off there, in a baffling accident.....

merlinxx 24th Nov 2012 09:27

Well G-ARSF written off at EHRD/RTM & G-APNH written off at LFAT/LTQ so has got to be one or the other, but the tower could be Le Touquet, but can't see the railway lines:{

Capot 24th Nov 2012 09:36

Merlinxx has it; it's Le Touquet; the pic is a postcard I sent in 1967 after an involuntary and totally unqualified night landing there, resulting from awful flight planning. They gave me an SRA (or similar) with enormous charm and encouragement. "Rien de quoi, Monsieur", they said afterwards.

I thought that "baffling" would be a clue!

Merlinxx has control.

Thks Capot...
 
Open House. Le Touquet, 1955 with parents on a Morton's jolly ex Croydon. Then later when with BUA on our Silver Arrow, just loved getting of the Viscount/1-11 straight on to the train. Many happy lunches at the airport restaurant :E:ok:

merlinxx 24th Nov 2012 12:27

Capot ?
 
were you on "NH" hotel then ?

Capot 24th Nov 2012 13:55

Merlinxx; no, I had flown a light a/c across the Channel, as a fairly recent PPL, and got the sunset time wrong!

That looks like Bhutan, if not very similiar.

In the unlikely event would have to advise OH, Paul H.

cuefaye 25th Nov 2012 13:18

Sorry zetec, not Bhutan - a different continent

cuefaye 26th Nov 2012 09:41

Glenwood Springs, Colorado ?

Spot on Kev - YHC

(God's own - that'll be Lancashire then!)

englishkev 26th Nov 2012 18:22

No ours is the pure white rose haha. Wonderful airfield especially the drive from Vail. Worth the visit for the friendly owner who insisted on opening up his hanger to show us his Broussard.
I digress not 100% sure on uploading pictures so open house

OH? So here I come again with one of my photos from long ago...

http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/3047/pprune4.jpg

I am a nice guy so I will give you a clue right away: same series as the others photos I have shown so far...But you would need to be lucky (or steel eyed) to find it using Google...;)
