Old Rheinbeck?(Although the countryside looks English)

Russell Gulch 17th Oct 2015 00:04

right country but not NY State.

Antique Airfield near Blakesburg, Iowa.

Just a teaser because of the lack of traffic but name the aerodrome. Russ

How about an airfield with a museum (eg Kermit Weeks) somewhere in the USA?

Bushfiva 25th Nov 2015 01:53

Is that a DC-2 in the background??

Russell Gulch 25th Nov 2015 09:58

It is an airfield with a museum in the USA.

Russell Gulch 26th Nov 2015 16:06

and it is a DC-2

I know I've seen that sign, but I visit a lot of museums and even more aerodromes and can't remember where it was. Could it be King County International.

That it is, young man. :) King County Washington.

Are able to take on the mantle and post something?

Russell.

The first shot looks like the old Vickers - Supermarine flight shed at Chilbolton but it can't be 'cos Chilbolton doesn't have a sea nearby!!
So maybe it's somewhere like Bo'ness (Scotland)?

Hen Ddraig 27th Nov 2015 08:29

Not Bo'ness

There are two other hangars on the site in an equally semi derelict state.

Looks like the Great Orme in the background ?.

Hen Ddraig 27th Nov 2015 08:54

It is the Great Orme in the background

JW411 27th Nov 2015 10:08

Beaumaris: OH if correct.

Hen Ddraig 27th Nov 2015 11:58

It is indeed Friars bay Beaumaris. Processed the majority of the RAF Catalinas when they arrived from the USA.

Jw411 declared OH

HD

Background Noise 27th Nov 2015 12:13

Hen, I can see the hangars at Beaumaris, but the shot of Great Orme appears to have Puffin Island in the middle ground, which would make the viewpoint somewhere along the east coast, north of Beaumaris. Nearer Moelfre maybe?
