Knowing your posts, is it in the Netherlands ?
|
|
Ahh, that has to be Dutch! It all started with the fly printed on the inside of the public urinals. Same in Changi?
|
Unfortunately the place where I found it doesn't say where it is.
I have just found it again and it says Eindhoven. SLB likes his home-grown stuff doesn't he. |
Eindhoven indeed. I also like Stairway to heaven https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....b3972a6b0.jpeg and also Economy seat https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....bd7dabffd.jpeg Dook has control |
I had that seat the last time I flew BA.......................... :sad:
|
SLB described his toilet as the stairway to heaven.
No - this is a stairway to heaven. http://i64.tinypic.com/2qsqz9u.jpg Challenge follows. |

We're not in Algeria.
|
Bizerte,Tunisia....

You need to get away from North Africa.

Not Pacific or French territory.
Checking on colour scheme. |
I have found a couple of photographs of the aeroplane in bare metal finish but nothing of that era in white.
|
This was an RAF base.
|
RAF Mauripur, Pakistan ? from John Holloway, RAF Retired: "The French occasionally had flights passing through. Once a month a lone DC-4 would arrive from Saigon, usually landing in the early hours of the morning when we should have all been fast asleep – so they were very unpopular. We also had a flight of Privateers arrive and the odd Nordatlas. They were on their way home as the days of the French in Indo China were rapidly coming to an end."

A cigar and a large malt to the man. :D
All yours e. |
Thanks dook! Here is the next mystery aerodrome:

Doesn't look used very much.
|
Not so much as of late, but still open. Actually had HS-125 corporate jet service back in the day. Photo was taken in 2005. Current image on Google Earth looks even less cared for.
|
Lots of silica sand around, and a hint of rapids in that dark stream. I'll guessing Africa, Angola perhaps.
|
I'm thinking outbackish.
|
Not Angola nor Australia.
|
Would this be the south east of France, by any chance ? |
Not on the European Continent.
|
In Canada? |
Not Canada, but the locale had a Canadian connection.
|
CHC or Okanagan helicopter operation? |
No, but I did find this gem of a photo taken at the mystery aerodrome:
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....e76f1c6385.jpg Please note I'll be back around 1400 UTC. |
Gave it away there, evansb. Canadian connection = Alcan; Alcan = British Guiana/Guyana. Mackenzie Airstrip. I knew there was something about that sand! Open House if correct. |
Maybe you should have airbrushed out serial number 34322.
A Google search brings up Watooka, Guyana. |

Thanks - now I'm with you.

My suggestion just shows how unreliable the web can be. :(
|
Re the USAF Piasecki H-21, my source says Mackenzie, British Guiana. Watooka, Linden and Mackenzie are served by the Linden-Mackenzie airport. It is now just the Linden airport. It was once known as just the Mackenzie airport. What was the USAF "flying Banana" doing in British Guiana anyway? I can speculate, but I have no facts to back me up.
FYI Watooka was a residential area of MacKenzie Guyana, named after Watooka Creek (an Amerindian name). |
It does seem to be a strange place for the USAF to have been.
Maybe it had something to do with the "constitutional coup". |
I'm waiting for a "non-regular" to post something.
