Alconbury it is. Apologies it is on the list but I posted it in error for another location. OH it is.

Greybull Wyoming it is. OH declared.

Image download worked!

This is easy,just south of the Equator! |
RAF Eastleigh ? Can't make out if it's a serviceable "frontline" Venom FB1 or 4 or a relic of a bygone era. Guess it's frontline - don't think they were much into the bye-gone lot after 1963. OH if correct. LFH

Eastliegh
Correct ,took this in 1961 while in transit!
|
|
It's in Western Russia, some way South of St. Petersburg.
The surroundings are collective farms which are clearly visible from 41,000ft. Sorry can't pick out the specific airfield. |
I think I can see two airfields in the photo.
|
Sultan Ismail - It's not Western Russia
chevvron - I think you are seeing airfield like fields :) |
boom boom.
Wouldn't want to be down there, and not sure I'd want to be up here either. Looks decidedly hostile, not that I have any experience. LFH
|
In view of the apparent 'action' taking place, can I narrow the search to Germany?
|
Yes, it is in Germany.
The airfield is being bombed because of the presence of a specific aircraft type. |
Marx airfield? Open House if correct .
|
sabredog is correct it is Einsatzhaven Marx - 53 25 09 N 7 54 06 E
The aircraft type was the Arado Ar234 "Blitz" flown by Kampfgeschwader 76, the date 21 Mar 1945. The attacking planes were from the 486th Bomb Group - Flimsy 170, 21 MAR 1945 Once more it is Open House |
|
Sort of a clue/query. Do you think that's a Mitsubishi Nell carcass at far left? That large glass spherical-shaped dorsal gunners position and twin tail?
Makes perfect sense if it is... http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/6533/nella.jpg |
Clark Field, Philippines ?
|
Sorry mate, but we're victorious and landed in Japan.
|
With all those C54s (which entered service c'45/'46) it looks like Berlin during the airlift but which airport? Templehof maybe?
|
Atsugi, Japan ?
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...Pepper2021.jpg |
Atsugi, Japan ? |
Thanks. Here is the next mystery aerodrome: (photo taken in 1950)
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r.../WAD120121.jpg |
It is Yokota Air Base, Japan.
OPEN HOUSE. |
|
Not a bad guess but not correct. You are however in the right general area (East Anglia).
|
Great Massingham.
Ciarain. |
I'll have a bash at Chedburgh
|
Looks like Membury but you said it's East Anglia which Membury ain't.
|
Not Great Massingham, Chedburgh or Membury
|
Those trees remind me of Waterbeach
|
How about Hardwick?
|
Sorry I've been off-line for a while; been worrying about a sick dog all morning.
Time for a clue; this memorial is in the village churchyard and will probably give it away... http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...irfield20a.jpg |
Trust that all is well with your dog.
Horham Airfield. 95th Bomb Group. If correct; Open House. |
Thanks for the clue - Horham.
edit - beaten to it.... damn :) |
Horham it is. Open House declared.
(Dog being picked-up from vet at 1830) |
olympus - That was an enjoyable, if frustrating, search.
As it is Open House (and I was close), here is another type of aerodrome. http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/...PRuNe/011A.jpg The date is late 1921 or 1922 - although I'm not sure if that will be of any assistance. |
I 'll take a guess - royal navy airstation Newhaven ?
|
Sorry descol, it isn't Newhaven, or anywhere else in the UK.
