My first obvious thought is: somewhere in Croatia :E.

Čazma airfield (LDZC), an unassuming little strip located about an hour’s drive east of Zagreb….

Very unassuming indeed, if you look for it in the Giggle Earth.

sabredog 20th Aug 2011 11:43

Correct,Regdep.

Reading, PA ?

RegDep 20th Aug 2011 16:34

No, Brian. Different continent.

merlinxx 20th Aug 2011 17:05

Looks like a couple of Flamonts 312/315s ?

RegDep 20th Aug 2011 17:12


Looks like a couple of Flamonts 312/315s ?
It would be very plausible for the location…...

sycamore 20th Aug 2011 21:40

Dijon....? actually `Flamants`..

RegDep 20th Aug 2011 21:43

Correct country, wrong corner, sycamore.

Of course Flamant :ok:

Noyade 20th Aug 2011 21:47

Cambrai?

RegDep 20th Aug 2011 21:55

Not Cambrai Graeme. This was last year. Organised by a club that has 35 members.

By way of a further clue, here is a view to the site through a window of one of the two Dassault MD 312 Flamants.

evansb 21st Aug 2011 16:00

Angers-Loire ?

RegDep 21st Aug 2011 16:14

No, Brian.

The organising club's name was "Les Ailes Armoricaines"

Duckbutt 21st Aug 2011 17:01

Given that huge clue presumably it's Guiscriff, Brittany then.

RegDep 21st Aug 2011 17:09

Duckbutt has it!

L’aérodrome Bretagne-Atlantique Guiscriff–Scaer-Gourin, 15 August 2010

Over to you :ok:

A bit obscure, admittedly. But I found the story a 35-member club attracting 6,000 spectators, and all the performers contributing, just worth a homage.

Duckbutt 21st Aug 2011 17:11

Good one Reg, I identified the Texan F-AZRB soon enough but until your clue couldn't find the right airfield.

I've had a good go lately so I'll declare open house.

descol 22nd Aug 2011 08:06

thank you DB open house -
try this one - I don't see it on the list

asw28-866 22nd Aug 2011 12:31

Looks very green, so Emerald Isle? Donegal?

'866

P.S. OH in the unlikely event of getting it right!

descol 22nd Aug 2011 12:52

interesting reply 866 - but not Donegal

jindabyne 22nd Aug 2011 19:46

But it is Ireland? West coast?

descol 22nd Aug 2011 19:54

It's not my country - Ireland - but it is situated in an Island Counrty !

jensdad 22nd Aug 2011 21:32

hmmm 'island' , Icelandic for Iceland?
Egilsstadir?
OH if correct...

descol 23rd Aug 2011 08:31

jensdad
correct
open house - as you say

chevvron 23rd Aug 2011 13:05

Looks like some test range in Nevada or New Mexico.

sabredog 23rd Aug 2011 15:26

NVAF Kep,North Vietnam?

Noyade 24th Aug 2011 02:55

Correct. Your control sabredog! :ok:

"Lt Col Bull Stirling of the 20th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron whips across the main runway of North Vietnam's Kep airfield. RF-101C Voodoo pilots went right into the path of enemy guns at enormous risk to bring back accurate intelligence"

sabredog 24th Aug 2011 07:17

Thank you,Noyade. An excellent photograph.
The next challenge;

Hen Ddraig 24th Aug 2011 15:22

Looks like deepest Ontario from the left seat of an RV-7 or 9

evansb 24th Aug 2011 15:54

Looks more like deepest British Columbia, the 6,003-ft runway at Dease Lake, (CYDL), 58.25N 130.02W. Elevation 2,634'. Flew in there back in the late 1970s.

sabredog 24th Aug 2011 16:10

Well done, Brian,though not surprised at all.
YHC,Brian.

evansb 24th Aug 2011 17:32

Thanks Terrence. Here is the next mystery aerodrome:

sabredog 24th Aug 2011 19:45

Scammon Bay Airport,Alaska,U.S.A?

evansb 24th Aug 2011 20:46

Sorry Terrence, not Alaska.

Phileas Fogg 24th Aug 2011 21:24

Sorry, posted in error and the system is not allowing me to delete the post.

chevvron 25th Aug 2011 11:03

Not Malta I know, but the closest edifice offshore bears a distinct resemblance to
Filfli Rock.

RegDep 25th Aug 2011 11:30

Are there yellow rwy markings only in snowy areas? Many other than Norway?

evansb 25th Aug 2011 11:49

I've seen yellow runway markings in Greenland, but yes, it is in Norway.

sabredog 25th Aug 2011 12:31

Røst Airport?
