I'm now wondering if it's ex-mil.
|
The trouble is that it's been re-registered.
|
Munich-Riem? OH if correct.
|
Dora 9 is correct. München Riem March 1965. Seafury TT Mk 20, D CACE ex VZ302, Sn. ES3613, reregistered G BCOV
|
Perhaps it is Kaufbeuren, been there once.
|
As the OH has been called again, May I suggest this different approach? Of course I left some bits out. I have more conventional clues available. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....2428726bc.jpeg |
I have no idea what this post is supposed to mean.
|
Can you identify the airport by a related logo? |
Oh - thank you.
|
Can you identify the airport by a related logo? But for you the more conventional clue https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....10b1e9df4.jpeg |
I can certainly identify the shelters as American, because I've used one in Germany.
|
The shelters are still there but repurposed |
Bitburg AB ,Germany........OH if correct
|
I don't think military air bases had logos, so is it a civilian airport nearby ?
|
Sycamore takes the lead with Bitburg I told you I left a bit out of the logo. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....39d04732d3.png OH called again |
I had already found "Bitte ein Bit" but still unable to find the logo.
edit: now I have. |
|
Driving rightside of the road: European? |
An early guess at Headcorn?
|
Europe yes but not Headcorn.
|
European country with 2 letter prefix. Not so many! |
I assume you mean the aircraft at the bottom.
|
Yes 2 of them looks like they are “at home” on those spots |
They don't live here.
|
ERROR. I looked at the wrong reference in my portfolio.
Australia. Challenge is thus withdrawn and OPEN HOUSE again. |

Usns Card Used as transport carrier during Vietnam war and last aircraft carrier sunk by enemy forces. edit: according reddit website this photo was taken from Golden gate bridge. so now we can assign a fixed point to a mobile aerodrome. OH if correct |
Shame "dook" withdrew his photo. Methinks it was Berwick complete with an Airtourer and either a Mustang or a Firefly

USNS Card transporting F-102As. As SLB says, the only carrier sunk by enemy action after WWII - admittedly in only 6 m of water, so it was reflected and repaired.
It was sunk at the Saigon wharf shown below, by limpet mines attached by a VC saboteur: https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....7859e108a0.jpg The picture shows the Card's sister-ship, USNS Core, at the wharf at the foot of Tự Do* (now Đồng Khởi) street in central Saigon. The Majestic Hotel is in the background. Here's the Card after the attack, listing to starboard: https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....a6edbdb44b.jpg A 12' wide hole was blown in the hull. Five civilian crew members were killed in the attack. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_USNS_Card SLB has declared Open House. * Tự Do street's original name was Rue Catinat during French colonial times. It features prominently in The Quiet American. Tự Do, which means freedom or liberty in Vietnamese, was renamed Đồng Khởi after the fall of Saigon in 1975. This lead to a joke among Saigonese that when the NVA arrived, they took away freedom and liberty! |
Checklist Charlie,
You were correct. Having made a cockup I had to withdraw it to be honest. |
|
The blue arrow looks familiar to previous challenges same region or do you draw in the arrow yourselve? |
Are these aircraft `awaiting delivery`/airtest/etc,at or nearby somewhere like Burtonwood.....
Look like a mixture of T6,Mustang,P40....?? |
I did not draw the arrow.
They are not awaiting delivery or airtest and we're not in the UK. I feel they are bombers but might be wrong. edit: American bombers |
We are in northern Europe.
|
Methinks it was Berwick complete with an Airtourer and either a Mustang or a Firefly |

Could it be what was then Meeks Field (now Keflavik Airport), Iceland.
OH if correct. |
We are in Europe but not Iceland.
These bombers are interred, so surely someone can now find it. |
Dubendorf? Had looked recently at the internment, but I was convinced the image was gliders, sans Invasion stripes.
