It isn't Balderton, or anywhere else in the UK.

I'll leave this overnight.

very nice old fortification just above the bombs!!
|
Fort is still there - covered in trees though., and all the fields have been built on.
This angle might make it easier https://kncdog.bn1302.livefilestore....&cropmode=none |
This is taking a bit longer than I thought it would.
Here's a are two photos a couple of seconds apart. https://nl4rlq.bn1302.livefilestore....&cropmode=nonehttps://mplp8g.bn1302.livefilestore....&cropmode=none I'll dig out some different images tomorrow if it is still an unknown. |
Fortresses at lower level....... N france? Belgium - maybe Lille??
|
France - if you go to Google Maps and type in Northern France, the aerodrome is not in the area shaded.
Here is a plan of the aerodrome from 1930 - I don't think the road has the same name now as then - it is still an airfield https://mplq8g.bn1302.livefilestore....&cropmode=none Bit fuzzy, but here is an image from 1930 (from the same book as the plan above) https://ghe3aa.bn1302.livefilestore....&cropmode=none |
Not our old friend Le Bourget is it ?
|
'Porte ouverte' if correct.
|
Or even 'Le Bouquet' as we used to say at LATCC (but pronounced different)
|
Yes, Le Bourget it is. Your post the other day made me think that I had some historical images of the aerodrome.
Open house it is. |
Thankfully those B-17's left a lot standing, love those giant 30's hangars just oozing with history...
|
Only just though

Italy or Spain?
I was going to guess South America. |
Vegetation looks a bit dry. Some canny mountains in the distance to the West. Runway orientation somewhere between 200 and 299 degrees. I'm going to kick things off with a massive leap in the dark and say Sofia.
