Is this an Indian Airforce base ?

jindabyne 16th Oct 2011 09:25

Sorry, no. Go West

jindabyne 18th Oct 2011 09:14

Fairly typical layout of airfields in this country --

dash7fan 18th Oct 2011 14:54

Former eastern bloc airfield?

jindabyne 18th Oct 2011 16:33

Yes - training

sycamore 18th Oct 2011 18:05

Poland or E Germany.?

jindabyne 18th Oct 2011 20:06

No, neither of those. Last clue: think Cranwell equivalent-ish in the 80's.

sabredog 19th Oct 2011 15:45

Bobocu Airfield,Romania.

jindabyne 19th Oct 2011 19:08

Very well done sir, YHC.

I visited the place in 1975 when, as an instructor at RAF Valley, I took a group of students on an exchange visit to the RoAF. A very illuminating experience in those days of Chauchesku!!

sabredog 19th Oct 2011 19:27

Thank you,Jindabyne. An excellent challenge.
Open House.

jindabyne 20th Oct 2011 10:35

Gentlemen,

I have the saddest of all news. I have received the following personal e-mail.


It is possible that I am the only one who knew RegDep by his real name Heikki. He loved to call himself "your wingman"

Dear friend of my beloved partner who has unexpectedly passed away today. I was the one who had forwarded you the airplane picture some months ago. So I happened to have your email. I knew that he has enjoyed so much being connected with you, he had such a lot of respect for you and really saw you as his good friend. Wishing you all the best and please keep him in good memory. If you would like to know more, please just contact me. Anja-Christina Albert

How sad. I always enjoy coming to this part of the forum where gentlemen like RegDep have always enlightened.

descol 24th Oct 2011 20:40

RIP - I suggest a thread somewhere for this - we live and acknowledge each other in an internet age - thank you Regdep

jindabyne 24th Oct 2011 21:29

I knew of RegDep for only a short while. How extremely sad. RIP Heikki.

As a mark of respect, I'm sure that all here would know that RegDep would have soon identified my last as Nanaimo Airport on Vancouver Island.

Perhaps one of his longer term friends would care to carry on the challenge.
