chevvron 26th Aug 2013 17:11

My image is too pixilated to see any detail.

It is not Wynyard in Tasmania either.

John Hill 26th Aug 2013 19:54

Con-pilot, the airport is now civil/military and was once operated by the airforce of an imperial power. Oh! at that time the airport was in another country!:8

Oh c'mon you lot, you lost 3-0, but with your friend GI, you know it's Peshawar. Jeez. No chance in the forthcoming :D

John Hill 26th Aug 2013 23:41

Phew! Cuefaye gets the banana! Over to you sir..


Peshawar, where the rails cross the runway (just like Gisborne and Wynyard). Peshawar in Pakistan which was once upon a time in India when it was a RAF base.
Peshawar, one of the airports where PIA, aka Prayers in the Air, aka Pakistani International, does the ground handling.

if we kept winning the cricket the poms would just slip into third world pessimism.
you've got to give them a win occasionally just to keep them happy as a nation.

btw who is hosting the national paint fading ashes next time?:E

Crook - so Open House

Sorry you're not well cuefaye!

My next one then - no longer an airfield now, the hangar is gone but the large building in the background is still there:

is this in north africa?

Lightning Mate 27th Aug 2013 07:12

Or Sicily ?

Dora-9 27th Aug 2013 08:37

Not North Africa - in Sicily.

Lightning Mate 27th Aug 2013 08:43

Did Patton have anything to do with it?

dubbleyew eight 27th Aug 2013 08:46

gella-farello?

Dora-9 27th Aug 2013 08:53

W8: no.

L-M: Possibly the true reasons for Patton's dismissal occurred here.

massacre of italian prisoners on ... Biscari Airfield?

Dora-9 27th Aug 2013 10:09

That's impressive, W8. More correctly known as Biscari - San Pietro or just San Pietro, but I'll pay your answer. You have control.

Despite there originally being revetments and a hangar, there is no evidence at all now that there was an airfield here. If you look at Santo Pietro on GE, you can see where the landing area was and also the large building behind the wrecked aircraft (top LH corner of the landing area)..

I googlated "pattons mistake on crete" he made 3. the 2 slapping incidents were nothing compared to the massacre. so I guessed.

dash7fan 28th Aug 2013 07:31
