The surrounding trees on the airfield are very similar to those at Mulhouse, looking at video & photos of the unfortunate loss of the A320 when it could not climb away.

An older view but from roughly the same place...https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....c7e2a6533a.jpg

What a great twelve hour day...….:ugh::ugh::ugh:

If you’re getting frustrated just ask and I’ll post the answer. I don’t want to hold things up. |

Is this a competition to identify some airfield or other or a competition to see who can make up the most obscure of clues?

Open house. |

On behalf of ppruners (both long-timers and newbies) who've been sitting quietly by, I apologise to you for the rudeness of some of the posters here. They've been complaining for months about the lack of interest in the forum, especially from "non-regulars" and then they lash out like privileged boors -- all the while bending their own newly resurrected and posted rules as suits them -- or ignoring them completely. Disgusting |
Mid January.
A depressing time of year to say the least. |
Okay - here we go. And it's going to be tricky.

TheiC, I agree with grizzled. I’ve been playing this game for more years than I can remember. Some players are becoming too impatient. No one should feel pressured into revealing their challenge. |
Hi Auxtank & others, the concrete slabs remind me of Sleap in Shropshire.
|
On looking they are similar.
All be it on a smaller scale... |
As a newboy I find this thread fascinating...
some of the old challenges (and clues) are amazing I do agree tho that people need to be less impatient.. Pprune has worldwide coverage and most people only log in once a day at most I suspect. Sometimes this thread gets like a chat room with literally instant responses. I prefer the e older, more relaxed tempo..... |

Best thread on PPrune!
Latest challenge: haven't a clue! BSD. |
|
Having frustrated myself yesterday because I couldn't find the challenge, I am not going to annoy myself today.
This one might be in the UK. A fire hydrant (I think) in the middle of a airfield is certainly unusual. Maybe weapons were involved. |
They certainly were. Greenham Common.
|
...and open house if correct.
|
Yes, there are many, many hydrants dotted around. They were once used in panick-stricken earnest, pumping over a million gallons of water for nearly 16 hours in 1958. But we don't talk about that!
|
BSD completely agree
Latest challenge: haven't a clue! |
|
Ah - Greenham.
I did a couple of air displays there back in 1976. The Embassy cigarette company event hostesses...……...better not. :E |

|
Lightnings?
|
There's only one Lightning as far as I am concerned, but yes - P38s.
|
|
We are indeed in Europe.
|
At a guess ..Italy..?
|
Sadly not - go north.
Another clue is available.... |
Coltishall?
|
370th Fighter Group at Cardonville ?
|
Not Colt but Auxtank is close.
|
370th or near Cardonville?
|
370th it is but you need to go east from France.
|
Belgium. Florennes then?
|
Florennes? Damn Auxtank got there first.
