As it is Open House.

This has been done before, but with a modern photo, these are a little more historical. Almost all the buildings shown here still exist.

The title on the source of the photo below is "A modern airport at ?"

http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/...PRuNe/015B.jpg

Both photos taken in 1943

I will kick it off with Karachi

Not Karachi - wrong continent

edit:- just going out, be back late afternoon.

Accra ? looking south. current runway 21 would be on left of pic. OH if possibly correct - but I'm working on somefink. LFH

LFH - you are correct, Accra, Gold Coast - as it was then.

I guess too much is the same for you to have been mislead with the the stars and stripes and the vehicles driving on the correct side of the road in the modern airport image:ok:

For those interested, here is the unedited source image of the 1st photo.

http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/...PRuNe/015D.jpg

The following interesting image is described as "Near Accra air base a familiar pattern for approaching pilots is formed by these huts for native troops across from the British hospital barracks. The four small huts behind the buildings are shower stalls"

Open House it is

24 hours gone so let's keep it moving with:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ler/Puzz65.jpg

Goxhill?!!

Not Goxhill, sorry.

Staaken, Berlin?

OH if correct.

It is, Olympus. OH then.

To keep it moving, try this easy one.

It has been done before, but with a very modern photo.

Ascension Island?
Open house if correct.

Correct - Wideawake on Ascension Island. Thought it wouldn't last long.

Not sure if I would like to be in the aircraft behind the one taking off or landing.

Open House once again

I'IGN HD-34 at Reggane Airport Algeria ?

HD-34 (of the IGN ?) suggests it's French North African territory somewheres - after that ........ Is that a row of parked aircraft in the top left distance with the Atlas mountains behind. Distinct lack of activity at lunchtime ! And not a Tricouleur in sight.

Hippo - Re Accra - it wasn't the Stars & Stripes that gave it away (not enough screen resolution here) it was the Pith Helmets. LFH

That's the place sabredog. Your control.

Thank you,Noyade.
Open House

RAF Baghdad, Iraq ?

RAF Baghdad aka RAF Hinaidi aka RAF Hinaida

It sure is RAF Hinaida - near Baghdad - vacated by the RAF in 1941 - renamed Rashid Airfield in honour of Iraqui PM and then used against the RAF
over to Olympus

evansb got it first so I'll defer to him.

Thank you. Here is the next mystery aerodrome:

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r.../wad120216.jpg

PNW?

..and a few words

Stanley airfield, Nova Scotia...I think. Has been many years since I was out that way...

OH if correct.

Gordy is correct. Stanley, Nova Scotia was a BCATP aerodrome of yore.
The airfield hosts Canada's largest annual fly-in.

As requested, it is OPEN HOUSE.

Lets see how you do with this aerodrome

http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/...PRuNe/017A.jpg

Let me know if you want or need a photo outside :ok:

I'll take a stab at Woodvale (or somewhere very like it!).

Not RAF Woodvale, and not in the UK

Well, I did say a stab... So, those aren't sand dunes of the type we're familiar with here, then...

Cue the experts, who will work it out from the type of 'Aldis' lamp (using name generically, before someone points out that it's not one!).

No sand dunes anywhere I can see, although those might well be some sort of palm trees out of the left hand window on the far side of the runway.

Judjing by the tea chest architecture: Nanyuki (or Nyeri) 1951?

Not Kenya, or Africa.

1943 - same year it was completed

Here's another view

http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/...PRuNe/017B.jpg

Timezone is UTC-5. Time of the first photo is shown here.

http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/...uNe/017A-2.jpg

The 2nd photo (10 days after the 1st one) looks to be around the same time - or an hour or so earlier.

Photos taken in December 1943, 2nd one looking east.

B-25's in the photo?

Atterbury-Bakalar airfield, Indiana ?

Not in the USA, but it is in country that was allied to the USA, and the airfield was named after the President of that Country - but it isn't named that now.

Used for Anti-submarine patrols and as a training airfield for B29s. At the end of the war the US withdrew and handed the facility over the host government.

I was wrong in one of my previous posts - it was built in 1942 not 1943.

San Antonio de los Baños Airfield,Cuba.
