Er what about the Golden Gate Bridge; in any case I just barely beat you to it!!

Not much aerod about the Golden Gate - and I think you'll find Seattle/Tacoma has always been a rather bigger aerodrome than Kewbick's photo shows. It's also in a different location :)

Yes, it is Tacoma Narrows/Pierce County Airport (KTIW). Allan Lupton has control.

Sorry for the delay and this one I happen to have is either quite easy or mind-blowingly difficult depending on who you are!

Old Lae airport (AYLA/LAC) November 1982 and the aircraft is G-SCHH. Open house if correct.

Quite correct Chimbu Warrior - as you must have found it quite easy, were you there that day (as I was!)?
CW has declared Open House so I'll offer another which is either quite easy or mind-blowingly difficult depending on who you are!

were you there that day (as I was!)?
Indeed I was, and hence the date and rego details.

My thoughts.
England?
1930 ish?
London suburbs under development?
Tiger Moths?
Sun quite low from East or West?
Winter as the trees are bare, so maybe Sun from South around noon?

It wasn't that obscure to me but as the de Havilland works was at Stag Lane when that photo was taken, one could say you just referred to the aeroplanes.

Anyway, Hatfield it is (in 1932) so over to you.

No it wasn't as I had moved from Tech Sales to a Future Projects office in 1985 - and never went to North America when I was selling things.

I think the challenge is to get one to last more than 24 hours :)

Stoney Cross - it's too open to be Holmesley South.
OH if correct.

dixi188 10th Apr 2017 15:41

Not Stoney Cross and not Harrowbeer.

chevvron 10th Apr 2017 16:04
