Not Iwo Jima - too far west.

New Caledonia?

Not New Caledonia - still too far West, and also too far south.


It is by the seaside :ok:

Dillingham Airfield, HI. ?

SMOKEON has it - known as Mokuleia Army Airfield when the picture was taken.


You have control.

Thank you,nvubu.
Open House.

All gone a bit quiet, so here's another one from me.

This airfield has been photobucketed before - so all the images have disappeared.

QANTAS V jet, Air France stairs, troops disembarking.

Where I am right now? Tan Son Nhat?

That's the one, didn't think it would last long, and thought you'd get it.

Thanks nvubu.

It’s pushing 2300 local, the beer is flowing and the locals are friendly, so open house. ;)

Let's see if this one lasts any longer

Possibly a “Lima site”?

Had to look up "Lima" site. It isn't in Laos and it doesn't appear on this list

I’m not surprised you had to look it up. The Lima sites were secret! :cool:

A visit to Long Tieng (LS20A) is on my bucket list.

Is your mystery aerodrome a bit further east?

Quite a bit further east, in the south as well.

Borneo/Kalimantan??

Not Borneo/Kalimantan. I42 is on the right track. South Vietnam.

- but he kno ws that part of the world like the back of his hand........... unfair! Unfair!!

Ah, but I foxed him with Quy Nhon/Qui Nhon last month.

Although to be fair, this one is still recognisable from the air.

Ah, the vagaries of the English language. By “a bit further east” I meant Vietnam and so I was also mislead by “Quite a bit ...”. ;)

Caution - thread drift.

No research today for me, as I’m visiting Yangon for the first time. A friend is showing me around and our first stop, very appropriate given the date, is the Taukkyan War Cemetery - 6400 graves and 27000 names of soldiers with no known grave, listed on the Rangoon Memorial. Very thought provoking.
