Not Again!?

nvubu 26th Nov 2012 22:12

Montdidier?

asw22 27th Nov 2012 21:21

Not Montdidier...Like some of you may have guess this a Battle of Britain airfield, German side...those are an enormous lot less known than their UK counterparts...Its name will certainly ring a bell when I give it like the others before it (and the next ones he he he)...

It is in the vicinity of Calais (like two dozens of like fields) and if you give a name try to assess it on Google Earth; it is perfectly possible but a lot less easy than Peuplingues for instance...the reason is a kind of optical illusion...please give this reason too...:)

Near Calais... How about Guines?

Stuart Sutcliffe 29th Nov 2012 21:20

Up near the top left there looks to be a horse racing track, so I thought it might be St Omer Longuenesse, but I can't get it to match Google Earth. Ho hum. :hmm:

Guīnes is on the edge of a forest. Not the case here. But I commiserate with you: it is quite significantly closer to Calais (I could add it is close to old "Nationale 1"...but that would be telling...)

nvubu 30th Nov 2012 17:41

Well then, I'll have to try Coquelles as this is closer to Calais.

asw22 30th Nov 2012 19:40

Aaaah! Enfin!

And what is the "optical illusion" which makes it so hard to find nowadays?

In any case the next game is yours...:p

nvubu 30th Nov 2012 20:00

You'll have to tell us.

Open House this time around

It's a big shed with an airship :confused: Can't be Lakehurst, there's no rain, maybe could be :confused:

St.Hubert QC Canada - Open house if correct.
Please post the full photo if so.

St.Hubert QC Canada
Holy **** that went quick!

Open house again.

Noyade 30th Nov 2012 21:07


Please post the full photo if so.
It is the whole photo. I thought of cropping out the aircraft and the registrations, but obviously it made no difference. Well done mate. :ok:

Here's a nice easy one for a very cold 1st December

Mr Nvubu, will the one who gets this get a slab of cured pork as a prize?

nvubu 1st Dec 2012 10:18

I guess you are talking about some 12th century priest?

On further research into your answer, did you mean a flitch of bacon?

Duckbutt 1st Dec 2012 10:56

After consulting with my wife (who I NEVER argue with), I can admit that I did!

CharlieOneSix 1st Dec 2012 11:16

Great Dunmow? OH if correct. I never get any of these but with relatives in the town the flitch of bacon was a great clue!

nvubu 1st Dec 2012 11:20

If only CharlieOneSix hadn't answered, we were going to get an airfield answered correctly without the name being mentioned! :ok:

Open House

Thanks DB, we almost did it:D
