So perhaps the major ocean is the South Atlantic.

Yes, it is the South Atlantic, and yes it is Nouadhibou. I was on my way to Monrovia, but next stop was Nouakchott for the night. Very French, and in 1993 still apparently very colonial. My hotel felt as from a Graham Greene novel.

OH declared.

After all my questions last night I eventually found it only to find that I had just been beaten to it.

A late night to no avail.

Early bird etc...…

Hmmm, the American fire engine is a red herring I feel; too many European cars about. So, how about RAF Bentwaters for a start?

No smelly red fish on you.

However, it's not Bentwaters or indeed American.

Unusual types ,PZL`s various,so,somewhere in Poland..?

It is indeed.

Could it be the old Krakow airport, now the Muzeum Lotnictwa Polskiego? Didn't think they had flying there but seems they do.

D

It could well be. :ok:

Also known as the Pas Stortowy Muzeum.

Over to you D.

One of the few on here I've visited but still didn't recognise it! It looked greatly different in 90/91.

Open House.

Pity about the OH.

So, here comes the cavalry to the rescue, nothing cryptic there.

Motor racing anyone?

Doesn't look like the racing circuit is used anymore either.

In fact it doesn't look like a racing circuit at all.

Quite correct, it is not a motor racing circuit.

RAF Folkingham.

What did the reference to motor racing mean then ?

BRM was at Folkingham for two separate periods, before and after Thor. Just imagine, 16 cylinder 1-5 litre. Not a success, but apparently very fast in testing at Folkingham. Over to you, this driver lapped at an early stage.

I had a 12 cylinder 5.3 litre. No guesses as to what that was. A gentlemen's club on wheels.

Architecture looks to be Middle East. A country bordering the Gulf? (Arabian or Persian according to choice)

Dubai possibly, from very much earlier days?

It does abut the Persian Gulf.

It is PC nowadays to refer to it as the Arabian Gulf, but not me - I lived in SA for five years and refuse to do so.

Not Dubai.

I should add that this is part of a hotel on the airport.

PC Arabian v Persian Gulf. Some years ago was at reception for IRISL, the Iranian national shipping line. Discussing our own services to that body of water I called it the Arabian Gulf and was promptly corrected by their reps, "Persian Gulf please". No offence given or taken.

Choose your words according to whom you are speaking in those parts of the world.

Re. the challenge, just over ten years ago there was a well-known army 'charge' here.

2008, Basra?

Very exact.

You to bowl.

Wheressa pic ?

Machine, not self, trying.

Here it is. Seen on TV yesterday, it's that time of year. I haven't

flown there.

I don't think it was on UK TV.

Not on UK TV. There was an important seat to fill after a recent death.

Anything to do with a politician ?

Not a politician, and unless seekers have the sort of strange mind which inhabits my noddle a clue of little use. Weather looks nice there.

Somewhere in Canada?

Not Canada. Temperature at nearest international airport is already 29, I think the Vale will be hot today.

And now time to skip off to my scratcher. Keep looking, it's in a lovely spot, goodnight.

Nice vineyards too! McLaren Vale, SA. Aldinga airfield.

Nice beach just up the road as well.

CC

Good morning. Yes, Aldinga. Spotted during TV coverage of the first major cycling event of the year. Sadness with death of long -time commentator quite recently. Long weekend in Adelaide a good memory however.

India42, over to you.

JENKINS,

Thanks. The square fields made me think USA, but the 03 ruled that out, so Canada was the first obvious choice. I was going to search Australia next, but the Vale reference immediately narrowed my search area. :)

Four-bladed props and lots of folded wings.

Do I see Skyraiders ?
