Sorry, but the hosting website says wrong format and refuses to upload, despite the fact that it is a jpg.
No challenge therefore. |

So, this for tonight. I have landed there, even on one occasion to consider a 'cutting out' expedition in relation to a P68 against an unpaid debt. I declined.

Bed-time in UK. I don't think any regular contributors are familiar with this area. Plenty of clues for tomorrow.
|
Mangrove swamps?
|
India, Pakistan or possibly Burma as was.?
|
I see that no-one has progressed to the heart of the matter. Certainly water nearby, but cannot affirm mangrove swamps. Not as far East, in terms of Terry's Chocolate Orange segments, as my old chum may surmise.
|
Greece or nearby maybe.
|
Not nearly as classical as Greece. One big hint already there previously as I go shopping. Back soon.
|
I think that clue may be in Terrys Chocolate orange.
Although maybe the P68. |
Terry's were owned by Kraft (or Mondelez) who aer based in Deerfield Ill, now they're owned by Carmabar who have operations in Poitiers, Paris and Strasbourg . None of those seem to fit the image
So it may just be ORANGES we're looking at - Seville - don't think so ; Tangiers - could be but airport wrong, Satsuma - no airfield |
I'm looking more at 'the heart of the matter'... The papiamento (I think, someone might correct me) word for 'heart' being Curacao?
|
No, Terry's refers solely to the longitudinal chunks which make up the globe of the confectionery. Not South America. I am not very helpful in setting you off on a journey without maps. P68 incidental.
As for Seville, I gave you Cordoba a couple of weeks ago, so no orange there. |
Mediterranean then ?
|
Wrong water.
|
Further question your honour.
Sea or ocean ? |
I was expecting that. River outlet into an Ocean.
|
East Africa ?
|
Lungi, Sierra Leone,W Africa...OH if correct....
|
Not East Africa. Are you becoming a burnt out case? Do keep looking,
|
Crossed with Sycamore. It is Lungi, across the river mouth from Freetown. My aircraft was at Hastings, hotel at Aberdeen. Clues were in the awkwardly placed titles of Graham Greene novels, for Freetown figured significantly in his WW2 service in Intelligence.
OH declared by Sycamore, who I believe has Hastings aircraft time in his logbook. |
"Are you becoming a burnt out case?"
No. I'm very busy doing some highly technical drawings on computer for a forthcoming aviation technical manual. |
|
That's a terrible image Dook.....................
|
I agree - I'll take it into Photoshop and see what I can do.
Be with you shortly. |
|
Germany ????
|
Not Germany but it is in Europe
|
Sea or lake bottom right?
|
An estuary wee Jimmi………...
|
I'll have a punt at Donibristle, now the dormitory town of Dalgety Bay in Fife.
|
And what a corking punt that is.
The thread is yours. |
Thanks. A bit of local knowledge as i only live 2 miles away. There is still a small area of the runway surviving.
OH. |
As no-one has jumped in overnight, Here's a starter for 10.

Looks like a B-24. That doesn't narrow down the location very much!
|
My book on WW2 bombers has a couple of similar striking night time picture of B24's at Willow Run Factory in Michigan.....................
|
RAF Harrington? |
Sorry about the delay in replying - work got in the way :)
Thought this would be a good image to start with. It isn't at the Willow Run Factory in Michigan or at RAF Harrington. Another image - during the day this time. https://q1budq.bn.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none |
Is it in fact in the UK ?
