No, despite that length. The highest bomber number was 32, although that did not dominate the field.

Might it be WW2 era when built ?

Yes, right at the end.

B-36 Peacemaker.....

Fort Worth joint base ?

edit - err no.

Not Fort Worth, and 32 was the highest bomber number Sycamore. Even then, the 32 number was a mere 10 per cent of other bomber numbers. Take another look at my registration, it will lead to the Interweb. Perhaps a little help from your friends?

Spence Air Base Georgia ?

Not Georgia.

Walnut Ridge ?

Spot on. WW2 junkyard, that is how I found it. B32 Dominator, late entrant. Many years ago the four members of a popular beat combo from England landed here in their travels, and Walnut Ridge continues to hold a Beatles festival each year, John, Paul, George, and Ringo, providing another entree to the field.

All yours.

Thank you.

Looks like another S pacific hell-hole - maybe in PNG?

PNG it is......

It might be Mokmer near Biak?

Good morning Asturias.

Unfortunately not. This airfield no longer exists

I think we're going to need another clue.................... :confused:

Coming up.....

Built by the Australians and captured by the Japanese in 1942. The aeroplane is Japanese.

More clues if required.

Vunakanau on East New Britain? OH if correct.

It is indeed Vunakanau chimbu.

Bad luck Asturias.

chimbu has called OH.

Ok - I thought it might be Aitape..................... no airfield there anymore either

Let's try this one

I can just make out the serial number under the wing. Looking...

I have found your photo uncropped but the site doesn't say where it is. :{

MG751.

One site says it is Blackbushe and another Fontanarossa.

Curses!! I knew I shouldn't have put that one in first... Fontanerosa it is ... quite an interesting history... Over to Dook - I'm going to have to find something seriously

RAF Kallang ,S`Pore......OH if correct

Good afternoon sycamore.

Close but no cigar.

Seletar?....

I thought you would get this Ken.

Seletar it is.

Your watch.

dook, thanks. Back in the 60s my Flt Cdr on 1 Sqn (sadly recently departed this world) had started his fighter career on the Hornet in FEAF. A tenuous connection, I know.

Standby for the next

Are there any Harriers behind the camera ? ;)

No - they are off to the left!

I did a display where I think it is with a Jaguar in 1984 and yes - the groundcrew did leave a saucer of milk in front of the nosewheel !

Let's see if anyone else knows it.

Is that a 1 Squadron line-up?

Yes. All are types the Sqn had flown - even the Harvard, from the slightly less than glorious days as Fighter Command's instrument training squadron.

I've flown one of them. :)

lets punt on RAF Wittering? If I'm a winner OH as I'm travelling tomorrow

Your punt is correct. It was a 1 Sqn open day in 1971, fairly early days for the Harrier.

Asturias has declared OH

Quite a long way from Wittering.
