This wasn't Ken Hayr was it ?

If it was, I'm looking again at NZ.

That's it. Should help you get close albeit not directly to the spot. W-O-W would be close.

I knew Ken - great chap.

I asked about NZ in a previous post.

No, no. Just a statement, I was wearing pedant hat, sorry. Try me on negative questions, apparently most frustrating.

It isn't in NZ is it ?

Lovely response! Simple way out, it is in New Zealand. Scene of a family wedding, great fun.

I've been through all the ones I can find to no avail - still working on it.

Somebody will now come along and pinch it I bet.

Ken was born in Whangarei but no lake.

Jetstar seems to Number 1 on approach. Whangarei wrong island. Oh where is my chum K76?

Do you compose crossword puzzles ?

That will be Queenstown.

Yes, unfair on Dook. No to the compiler question. I certainly use the maps from Flight Radar, and a touch of Welsh deviousness. Hard luck dook, I tried to point - W-O-W refers to the nearby Wanaka on another lake, Wings Over Wanaka where Sir Ken once displayed. My own Ken Hayr story, apart from his being my Air Officer Commanding, refers to his double-hush in a turbine twin, but that is for another time.

With cheerful regret, to you Cows.

Jenkins thanks, that took a bit of work. 'Twas only yesterday but this one is somewhat weathered and in need of a paint job. Salty Dogs.

Wheressa An-12 gone ?

I figured that was too much of a hint, for now. :)

Good job I saw it then.

Looks Azorean, but not Lajes, I don't think. Santa Maria?

I am with you there - as far as the Azores are concerned. Let's just go through a list. My guess - Flores

There is no need for a list - jensdad has provided the answer.

Check it out on GE and the tower in this photograph.

Indeed it is, Santa Maria on Thursday. A rather interesting place with a massive apron, traditional WW2 triangular runway etc. The chap who handled us had been there since the 70s and regailed us with stories of endless jets stopping for a top-up; it's rather dead now. Dook was quick enough to observe another photo, seen below - apparently en-route to Port of Spain. Over to Jensdad.

Thank you CGB. I would love to visit that place. One of those 'classic' airfields from the past. I have nothing sufficiently challenging, so OH!

I have though.

Speke, I imagine during Becher's Brook.

Blimey. How did you find that ?

Your throttles.

Thanks. Noted AQ460 and worked from there. Former Squadron Commander had been a Sabre pilot, perhaps on 234. Speke https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....b0300841a7.jpg
buildings were remarkable. To bed now, but not without this which my logbook tells me I have visited once. No memory of the visit. Nearby very impressive World Heritage Site worth a look, reflectively perhaps.

Morning all.

That seems to be a small airfield. I assume not UK.

Positive answer. This is not a UK field. Very busy, apparently, in its own country, and there are plenty more nearby. My solitary trip was by Aztec, and the nearest field from my logbook was in a military VIP machine.

The layout of the fields, and the fact that there seem to be hedgerows between them, looks a bit UK-ish to me. I'm struggling to think of a British World Heritage Site that could fit the clue though, unless it's the Roman Baths at erm... Bath?

Oops, sorry, our messages overlapped there. Neewhere near Bath, then :)

Are we in France ?

Last two, yes and yes. Shame about Bath, one of my favourite places. Watch this space for future efforts!

Does "Last two" refer to my two posts or "mirrors or water" ?

For clarity, yes to France and yes to one of mirrors or water.

Thank you.

Near Versailles possibly.

Toussus le Noble looks hopeful.

Very hopeful indeed. Has been active for a long time. Useful field, as was Leavesden in relation to London before cinematography took over. All yours.

Cheers.

I hope there's nothing on here to give it away quickly.

What an intriguing guess.

A long way from Woomera though.

Northern hemisphere.

I wonder what gave that away.

OH

I shall be more circumspect in future.
