Mablethorpe International?

LFT 31st Dec 2011 10:44

Close, but not close enough..

LFT 31st Dec 2011 18:51

The runway designation was 15/33.

Willow Grove NAS PA. Since 2011 PA ANG Willow Grove or ANG Horsham Station. Currently inactive but lots of shuffling and wondering what to do with it. Harold Pitcairn's base from green fields in 1926 to 1942. He was big in the US Air Mail Service.

Open house if correct. Happy New Year, LFH

LFT 2nd Jan 2012 00:26

At last. Well done Lordflasheart :ok:, Open House then -

asw28-866 2nd Jan 2012 06:25

Woodie Woodie ?

asw28-866 2nd Jan 2012 19:05

Sorry evansb, not woodie woodie. Clue is it is an hours caravan time from my current location.

Could be a long time in a VW, or about 120nm in a 208,mate...

nvubu 2nd Jan 2012 19:46

Gibb River?

asw28-866 3rd Jan 2012 07:29

Sycamore, about 120nm in a C208 is close, actually 115nm on my WAC.

nvubu, not Gibb River, I do that on the Friday mail run along the Gibb river road. this run follows the Fitzroy River.

'866

asw28-866 3rd Jan 2012 10:33

One more clue before bedtime (4am start) the hills in the background are the George Ranges.

'866

nvubu 3rd Jan 2012 17:42

I guess that would then be Fitzroy Crossing (YFTZ) 18 11S 125 34E?


I had looked at that, but thought the surface in your photo was a little too red - hence Gibb River.

asw28-866 3rd Jan 2012 19:12

Very warm nvubu, Fitzroy crossing is the closest 'town' to this community and is 30nm to the NNE. Might have to award this one one on the 'pin the tail on the donkey' basis of closest guess!

'866

TheiC 3rd Jan 2012 19:23

Could it be called Gap Creek?

nvubu 3rd Jan 2012 19:29

Yakanarra Community
or Cherrabun (CBC)

seems to be about the right distance?

asw28-866 4th Jan 2012 04:15

nvubu has it, it is Yakanarra!

The floor is yours.

nvubu 4th Jan 2012 06:15

Thanks '866 - that was a good search.

RAF Kenley..............OH if correct

nvubu 4th Jan 2012 17:16

Kenley it is

I thought that would last longer - you weren't mislead by the rare powered flight landing

Open House

JSCL 4th Jan 2012 17:17

Time for another easy one :P

The Protectors @ Radlett

JSCL 4th Jan 2012 17:29

Too easy :P

The house is yours!

nvubu 4th Jan 2012 17:35

It's also just down the road from me - or was!

I'll throw it back to open house as I've had quite a few goes recently. I've got a couple of hard ones lined up for the weekend.

JSCL 4th Jan 2012 18:42

Going to be selfish and take another me thinks :P

JSCL 5th Jan 2012 18:05

It's in the South Pacific.

descol 6th Jan 2012 08:09

It looks like a freshly gravelled Malololailai - but - we have had this airstrip previously ?

JSCL 6th Jan 2012 12:38

Tis not Malololailai

nvubu 6th Jan 2012 13:36

That is Mana Island Airport

JSCL 6th Jan 2012 13:39


That is Mana Island Airport
That is ! :)

nvubu 6th Jan 2012 13:46

Not sure if this is hard or easy

Pegasus Field, Antarctica.

nvubu 6th Jan 2012 17:18

OK - it was easy.

Named after the aeroplane below.

The floor is yours sabredog

sabredog 6th Jan 2012 18:11

Thank you.
Open House

nvubu 8th Jan 2012 16:00

As it is still Open House - here's another aerodrome.
