As no-one has jumped in, here's another one from me.

It's all gone quiet again. Here's the view from the ground around the same time.

SE Asia? Looks like the typical WW2 type of airstrip built after an invasion in those areas.
Lots of sand.
Suprising how many you see flying in Burma ( Myanmar ), Borneo ( Malaysia ) or other places. Near one place in Burma where I worked there was a WW2 Japanese strip near the beach. Never got a chance to land and explore. Did some very low and slow passes with the helicopter.

SE Asia - yes
WW2 - no

Wild guess, Bikini Atoll?

It isn't on an island.

Well, then let me ask the obvious question. Is it coastal Vietnam?

I thought it might be LZ Betty at Phan Thiet, but the runway orientation is wrong.

Getting closer - It is coastal Vietnam.

This was the first one of these to land here

But there were also these present

Well, well!

It was clear from the hills that this was north of the Mekong Delta, so I was about to start a search. A picture of a C-130 and a grader didn't seem much of a clue, but then I noticed the two-seat Cougar lurking in the background, which lead me straight away to Chu Lai.

Based on the white rudder, I assume it's a Marine FAC TF-9J of H&MS-13 - the only Cougars to see combat.

Open house if correct.

Chu Lai it is - I wondered which image might give it away. I had a few more lined up if required. Photos were taken late 1965.

Your last challenge got me looking at Vietnam images, and before I discovered Chu Lai, I found a fair number of Marble Mountain - including this one.

OPEN HOUSE IT IS

I don't think this has appeared before - another boring one from me:

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...psd9fhyx4c.jpg

looks like could make a good motor race track round the peri track !.

Only some of the of the perimeter track and the runway now visible.

France? field pattern looks right

What could be scorch marks (jets or rocket) across the field so maybe somewhere like Rechlin?

HH - no, not France.

Chevron - I don't think they're jet/rocket scorch marks. It's located in much warmer climes than Rechlin. Here's a clue: post-war this airfield was closed, although one of its many satellites still remains in use.

They say a fast game is a good game, so here's another clue. This Me 210 accident shown supposedly (I'm not convinced) occurred at our "mystery" airfield:

Aha! Some good clues. :ok:
Warmer climate than northern Germany.
Me 210 with white fuselage band = Mediterranean.
Dora-9 will know about the captured FW190s, and likes posting airfields that no longer exist today.
So it's gotta be Gerbini in Sicily.

Today: Some remnants of the runway and southern taxiway are still visible.

[OH if correct]

Well done Terry! To be pedantic (who? me?), this is Gerbini/Main. As part of a complex of some 14 satellites west of Catania (most of which were very basic), this was one of the Luftwaffe's main base areas on Sicily. This airfield is not to be confused with the current Gerbini airfield, which is built on the site of Gerbini/Sud.

Fw 190G-3 WNr 160057, formerly of SKG 10, was captured here intact in September 1943.

The "Focke-Wulf Fw 190 in the Battle for Sicily" contains this intriguing strike photo:

The acute angled aqueduct/railway junction (with the distinct kink in the aqueduct) are readily found on Google Earth immediately south of the airfield. Apart from the 2 Fw 190's on the lower RHS of the photo, also of interest are the three "anchor"-shaped blast pens in the top LH corner. If you scroll your GE back to the 2002 images, two of these pens were still there!

Terry has declared OH....

Try this one, not on Mel's list:
