nvubu 10th Nov 2018 07:30

Not in Hampshire either.

Here's the side-on (with gun) from a couple of days earlier.

I guess this gives away who is flying, and from that, the occasion, which may lead you to the location.

dook 10th Nov 2018 08:22

Smoogro ?....

nvubu 10th Nov 2018 08:27

Yes, Smoogro it is (thought that would make it easy). Over to you dook.

Screen captures from "Captain Jack and the Furious Few" on the BBC last week.

dook 10th Nov 2018 08:41

Many thanks - the second image did lead to a trail.

nvubu 10th Nov 2018 09:26

Two airfields ?

dook 10th Nov 2018 09:44

No, just the one.

longer ron 10th Nov 2018 16:18

Good one Dook :)

Inskip ?

OH if correct

dook 10th Nov 2018 16:38

And a very good answer to boot. :D

OH

nvubu 10th Nov 2018 17:52

Have another one from me to keep us going.

dook 10th Nov 2018 17:56

Well, that will certainly keep me going for a while.

sycamore 10th Nov 2018 18:32

Snow ,or sandy..?

dook 10th Nov 2018 18:39

I've been asking myself that, and I'm shooting for snow, despite the fact that there isn't any on the vegetation.

nvubu 10th Nov 2018 18:44

sandy wins the day.

dook 10th Nov 2018 18:46

Sod it !......

dook 10th Nov 2018 18:58

Are we looking at some Seabees ?

nvubu 10th Nov 2018 19:03

Yes, I think we are :ok:

dook 10th Nov 2018 20:05

We'll, I'll kick off.

Aslito ?

nvubu 10th Nov 2018 20:08

Nope, not there.

nvubu 10th Nov 2018 20:44

Not in the Marshall Islands

dook 10th Nov 2018 20:52

I think we're in an area where we have previously been.

nvubu 10th Nov 2018 20:58

I don't remember being here before.

Self loading bear 10th Nov 2018 21:50

I understand it is a place where there could also be snowy?
The Seabees build a northern Atlantic route via Newfoundland so I start with Argentia.

mgahan 10th Nov 2018 22:35

Long shot, based on the first pic - Makin.

nvubu 11th Nov 2018 07:05

It doesn't snow here, and we are not in the Pacific Ocean.

chevvron 11th Nov 2018 09:58

Indian Ocean; Diego Garcia?

dook 11th Nov 2018 10:25

Nobody has suggested North Africa yet.

nvubu 11th Nov 2018 12:21

chevron has it. Diego Garcia it is - Images are of the South Runway being built.

dook 11th Nov 2018 14:21

How on earth did you find that ?

nvubu 11th Nov 2018 14:23

me or chevron ?

dook 11th Nov 2018 14:27

Both of you really.

nvubu 11th Nov 2018 14:53

I've got access to some good sources - here's another image:
https://bw2gwa.db.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none

dook 11th Nov 2018 15:12

I've also just found a couple of good sources.

I trust yours above isn't a challenge.

nvubu 11th Nov 2018 15:30

No - same place, Diego Garcia again, just found it in the same book, thought it worth posting in addition as I think it's before any real work started.

chevron has control.

evansb 11th Nov 2018 20:55

A gentle reminder. Using Google Image Search is NOT allowed. Thank you. Using your resourceful and industrious intellect is allowed.

'When you have eliminated the impossible (Pacific and Atlantic), anything that is left, however improbable, (Indian) must be the truth'.
Looked like Pacific Ocean but nvubu said it wasn't so that ruled out a vast area of the globe; nothing like that in the Atlantic so I took a guess at Indian Ocean. We had Gan recently so it wasn't there, and having visited Plaisance and Mahe, I knew it wasn't either of those.

Open House.

When you have eliminated the impossible ...
chevvron, do you wear a deer-stalker when you are sleuthing? :)

No but I sometimes wear an FC Barcelona cap;)

dook 12th Nov 2018 08:47

I'll have to get one of those then.

I'm not sure who the post by evansb is aimed at or why.
