Have you lot ever tried the, equivalent of, old Tom O'Connor game show "Name That Tune" ... i.e. "Name That Aerodrome"?

"I'll name that aerodrome in 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1" :)

Spook - Correct
over to you

Thanks descol, OPEN HOUSE

OK, if no-one else is stepping forward here's my first ever contribution to this fascinating thread. It dates from 2009.

Is this in Poland ?

Close, but not quite Poland. But part of the former USSR.

Ventspils, Latvia?

OH if correct.

Spot on! Ventspils it is. A very welcoming GA field nowadays.

Here's another:

Gowen Field Air National Guard Base, Boise Airport, Idaho. U.S.A.

Glad I stumped you for so long Sabredog! With you.

Thank you,Duckbutt. Yes,very slow off the mark with your challenge.
Cannot see this airfield on Mel's list. Should not last very long!

Tympaki, or Tymbakion, Crete. There are several different spellings, only one lat/long, 35.04N, 25.46E

Open house if correct.

Well done,Kenparry. You are correct ,and there is even a third way of spelling the name of the airfield;Timbaki!!
Kenparry has declared ;
Open House

Try this one -

Castle Kennedy, Stranraer.

TCF

That's the one :ok: Over to you.

Sorry for my late reply. Open house.

As CF declared open house ! I cannot believe this one is not in Mel's listing ??

Oh dear! I know that one so well, I think... Not far from you? Chicken sheds? Maybe a navaid out of shot? Curse the effects of the wine and the time away from home!

frontlefthamster. There is something in shot that should narrow it down ?

Keith.

A 'Bernard (bootiful) Maffews' resort perhaps? ie turkey rather than chicken, but then it could be Wing.

Thank you Keith!

That would be the fascinating dome at Langham, recently used for an interesting sound installation by Nick Franglen...

Friends of Langham Dome

franglen.net - franglen.net

Open house if I'm right please!

frontlefthamster has it ! yes it is Langham with the dome trainer, yes it is Bernard Matthews and yes they are turkey sheds !

So back to open house !!!

I do hope that interest in this thread is not waning. Wonder if THIS one will last longer than five minutes!

Has it been used in an advert recently....

Sorry, I've no idea. I would say that the general locality is photogenic though.

I was thinking of the Avios advert. Don't know where it is and wont Google as I believe that is not in the spirit of this thread.

Xtype

I HAVE googled the advert and with the proviso that if I understand it correctly, the filming was done in a different country.

Another view in the opposite direction:

Is this in New Zealand?

No, Northern Hemisphere.

If I had been here in 1976 or 1998 my knees would have been knocking both figuratively and literally. Probably also between 1915 and 1917 but not for quite the same reasons. Still very uncomfortable though!

Bovec, Slovenia perhaps?

Bovec Slovenia it is. Extensive fighting in the area between Italians and Austrian forces in 1915 to 1917, earthquakes in 1976 and 1998.

MReyn has control.

Thanks Duckbutt. It will have to be Open House I am afraid.

I should like to submit this airport as a challenge.

Airport name and city?

For extra credit, which major TV personality flew out of this airport early in his career?

http://members.toast.net/rcarpen/aptwhere.jpg

Name of the airport is Congressional Airport, Rockville, MD near Washington DC. The TV personality was Arthur Godfrey

Very good MReyn.

The airport is now the Congressional Plaza shopping area ... at least the name lives on.

Arthur Godfrey was a longtime radio personality in the Washington, DC, area (starting around 1930).

MReyn has control again.

Thanks, seacue. It is over 4 years since you started this thread and it is still as popular as ever.

I try, but I'm very poor at recognizing the fields .. and when I do, someone beats me to it.
