Med or further N/E...?

dook 27th Apr 2019 13:03

"...the North has significance"

Are you talking about Korea or Ireland ?

JENKINS 27th Apr 2019 13:11

Korea it is.

dook 27th Apr 2019 14:02

Near Goseong ?

JENKINS 27th Apr 2019 14:11

My Collins Pocket Atlas gives two with that name, but neither I fear.

dook 27th Apr 2019 14:18

I assume it's South Korea.

JENKINS 27th Apr 2019 14:27

Yes., very.

dook 27th Apr 2019 14:54

There's quite a lot of cultivation on the islands down south, so is it one of those ?

JENKINS 27th Apr 2019 15:00

Yes. When I asked Interweb the question, albeit for another country, this spot appeared quickly.

dook 27th Apr 2019 15:08

Can't find a name but I've found it right down in the SW corner of Jeju Island.

It's 260/17 from Seogwipo.

JENKINS 27th Apr 2019 15:19

Yes, that's it. Look up Alddreu Airfield, I found it while looking for disused Japanese fields. Sino-japanese War, Kamikaze training, Korean War, even the hardened shelters to which I referred.

All yours.

dook 27th Apr 2019 15:49

There are certainly no HASs visible on GE.

JENKINS 27th Apr 2019 15:53

Found the shelters somewhere within Interweb.

nvubu 27th Apr 2019 16:08

dook - I think I can see 1 or 2 on bing maps (if that is what they are). Not directly on the airfield. Also on the Wiki page.

dook 27th Apr 2019 16:56

Thanks nvubu - I see it now. I was looking on the main area.

Standby please for the next.

dook 27th Apr 2019 17:01

Yer 'tis.

Parafield, South Australia? OH if correct...

dook 27th Apr 2019 19:36

Parafield it is - well done.

OH is called.

India Four Two 28th Apr 2019 06:28

A new terminal since the last time I was here:

Harry Wayfarers 28th Apr 2019 06:37

Australia?

India Four Two 28th Apr 2019 06:47

Not Australia.

dook 28th Apr 2019 08:42

Your side of the pond ?

It doesn't look very big.

nvubu 28th Apr 2019 10:30

looks right hand drive by the parking.
There is a name on the wall "….. International Airport"

dook 28th Apr 2019 10:46

Good spot.

I've enhanced that part in Photoshop and it says "...denciales" so it might be Providenciales International Airport.

edit: looks like it.

nvubu 28th Apr 2019 11:43

Looks :ok: :ok:

India Four Two 28th Apr 2019 14:27

Well done dook.

Provo airport in the Turks and Caicos Islands. I didn’t notice the sign when I first posted the picture, but I thought I would leave it there as it was not complete. I hadn’t reckoned on sharp-eyed WIWOLs. :)

dook 28th Apr 2019 15:51

Thank you India.

dook 28th Apr 2019 21:02

Nobody asking for clues.

JENKINS 28th Apr 2019 21:12

Just one guess, how about Castle Bromwich? OH if correct, bedtime.

dook 29th Apr 2019 08:12

Just one guess ?

How about Castle Bromwich indeed.:ok:

JENKINS has called OH.

JENKINS 29th Apr 2019 09:38

Indeed just one guess, the housing in top right corner distinctly British. With OH still valid, and my Manx kipper digested, try this.

dook 29th Apr 2019 11:32

I think "Manx kipper" is a red herring.

As always with these GE images there's almost nothing to go on, although this one appears to be on the coast or an island.

A straight clue to get the ball rolling would be in order methinks.

JENKINS 29th Apr 2019 11:58

On the coast of an island. I could weave a story around the Manx red herring, a lovely comment on my kipper, but I won't. The people of this island, not very many, voted on a referendum and accepted the result. But that is inconsequential. The name given to the island was intended to encourage settlement, but there was little response. The Portuguese pitched up at one stage, as always, but didn't last long and are now merely but one leif in the history book.

Cows getting bigger 29th Apr 2019 12:15

That will be Ilulissat airport, Greenland

dook 29th Apr 2019 13:00

Now there's a shot !

JENKINS 29th Apr 2019 13:11

Cgb, spot on, it is indeed. All yours.

Cows getting bigger 29th Apr 2019 13:20

It's going to be OH I'm afraid as I have nowhere new in my library.

Your country ?

No we have a rather flat country.
I dont think we have any airport with rolling hills in the vincinity.

Although this airport is also just 150 foot AMSL.
