Correct. I spent a week at Valemount, towing at a gliding camp. A spectacular location in the Rocky Mountain Trench.

Mt Robson is the highest and most spectacular peak in the Canadian Rockies - 12,972'. It rises over 10,000' above the valley floor. There is no non-technical way to get to the summit. It is known to climbers as the Great White Fright!

Harry has the con.

Lucky swine!! - Tho I'll bet you had some interesting updrafts & downdrafts that close to the mountains???

Harry,

Yes, often moderate turbulence, occasionally severe. A tow pilot friend of mine, when talking about towing gliders to connect with wave, used to say: "The rotor's not rough unless you get rolled inverted!"

Besides spectacular flying in mountain scenery, we made another nice discovery, which you'll appreciate - the Three Ranges Brewing Co - "Putting the ALE in vALEmount" https://www.threeranges.com

Thats a deal - you do the hairy flying, I'll sit in the brewery and stack them up waiting for you to return and regale us all with tales of derring do......:ok:

Sporting approach,or,`screwed it`,HH,? Italy ,or France...?

yes......................................... to all four questions....... in a way.......................

Calvi Airport (Sainte-Catherine), Corsica.

Yes indeed!!!!

Thank you,
Open House.

Not in the FSU

I think that that is not a TSR2 but a Harrier (possibly sea) and a Wessex. I'll leave the airfield to someone else as I don't have one to post at the moment.

Bang on - a lonely corner of Cornwall - I drove past it last week..... Jwnkins has it

England I guess from the fields??

Bottom centre there is a white blob - is this an artefact of the image or (as it could be) a cartoon figure on the ground?

Bolt Head Salcombe ?

Well, there's a surprise !

Knowing you lot this probably won't last long.

A very long way from the USA.

Woomera? Woomera?

Yes to :

British, Arabian, buildings RAF, undefended, sea in the background. I wonder about early, perhaps mid-50's, Salalah?

Getting close now.

Nicely done JENKS.

Masirah 1962.

Please take the stage.:D

Oi JENKS,

Your post with the correct answer has evaporated.

And the last type of aeroplane which I flew operated from there - schhh Jaguar.

Good grief !

UK again ?

I'm beginning to think it's a tank training area such as Salisbury Plain.

I would think British ones. Near Tilshead possibly.

But am I in the right ballpark with Salisbury Plain ?

Netheravon. OH if correct.

Larkhill??

I was almost there. :rolleyes:

I'll get something up in about an hour if nobody else does.

This will be easy for some.
