That one was done before somewhere quite recently................

Aplogies Dora - bit ahead of myself there!

Cuefay has it!

It is indeed Tooreweenah, home of Butler Air Transport. As a further clue I was going to post this gem, the hangar was removed to Gilgandra to be used a a council depot after the demise of Butler (in very questionablre circumstances) in 1958. There is a strong possibility that it will be soon re-located back to its original site.

cuefaye 7th Aug 2013 10:56

You can't do that - Noyade got it and it should be his turn!!

Noyade 7th Aug 2013 11:09


You can't do that - Noyade got it and it should be his turn!!
:) It's all good mate! Carry on - gonna have a cuppa and head off shortly.

Cheers gents.

Calm down LM! Noyade was the original poster of Laverton on 25 July (as you pointed out to me) - he was rightly sending me up :ok:

Lightning Mate 7th Aug 2013 11:23

On the contrary.

You posted a challenge and he got it.

Either we play the rules or we don't. So next time someone wins a challenge should the challenger simply replace it?

We are fortunate in that Noyade is an easy-going chap.

gee whiz cuefay those radials certainly blow some smoke on startup.
from that angle you'd think the place was being bombed.:E

dubbleyew eight 7th Aug 2013 12:35

I think it is a bombing raid on Nadzab, Papua New Guinea.

cuefaye 7th Aug 2013 12:53

Right area - but go West

cuefaye 8th Aug 2013 08:42

Late start! Further clue - Mitchels.

cuefaye 8th Aug 2013 12:23

Bombed by 2 Sqn --- now part of Indonesia

dubbleyew eight 8th Aug 2013 13:43
