Good afternoon lauriebe.

Suspect mail delivery aeroplane, a Fox Moth. That looks like the name Mathui on the front.

Christchurch ?

Good morning dook.

Not Christchurch. Here's a more modern image of the approach.

It appears that Mathui, as I edited above, crashed near Cattle Flat.

Westport ?

lauriebe 3rd Jul 2019 08:41

Not sure of the full name of the aircraft. It could be Mathui but the challenge is not Westport.

dook 3rd Jul 2019 08:46

Google "new zealand dh fox moth"..

Your photo, uncropped, reveals ZK-AGM awaiting passengers and mail at Greymouth.

The photo is about halfway down in my browser.

lauriebe 3rd Jul 2019 08:49

Greymouth it is.

Your thread.

dook 3rd Jul 2019 08:53

Thank you and thanks to India Four Two for the heads up.

Standby please.....

Is this in the UK?

lauriebe 3rd Jul 2019 09:27

Or perhaps Eastern Europe?

dook 3rd Jul 2019 09:27

Nein mein freund.

Self loading bear 3rd Jul 2019 17:05

I think this photo is quite some years post war?
The way the power cables are strung across a (former?) taxi way.
I thought that the Germans did not have a romney equivalent?

dook 3rd Jul 2019 18:02

Nice to see someone playing.

The airfield closed towards the end of 1946 and the photograph was taken in 1948.

Some more clues in a few minutes.

nvubu 3rd Jul 2019 18:04

Holzkirchen - 1948 - you replied with the year before I submitted this.

dook 3rd Jul 2019 18:07

I was about say BMW land and aircraft smelting.

Excellent shooting nvubu. :D

Holzkirchen it is.

Please hit the trigger.

For what we are about to receive...…..

nvubu 3rd Jul 2019 19:21

Thanks dook …. I think we were looking at the same webpage :)

And where might this mystery aerodrome be?

JENKINS 3rd Jul 2019 19:41

A Scottish sky, don't know about the wheelbarrow?

dook 3rd Jul 2019 19:52

More likely Germany or Italy methinks.

nvubu 3rd Jul 2019 19:59

Not in Scotland or Germany

dook 3rd Jul 2019 20:13

You didn't say about Italy.

nvubu 3rd Jul 2019 20:14

Correct - I didn't, that should tell you something :ok:

nvubu 3rd Jul 2019 20:21

Also, we are by the seaside - under the bombs.

dook 3rd Jul 2019 20:21

I'm suffering brain failure here.

Does that mean that it is Italy and you didn't mention it or it's not Italy.

Good job I don't sleep with a nuke-armed jet anymore.

nvubu 3rd Jul 2019 20:25

Yes …. it is in Italy.

dook 3rd Jul 2019 20:27

A part of the Foggia conglomeration maybe.

nvubu 3rd Jul 2019 20:30

Nope...…………..

dook 3rd Jul 2019 20:34

More in the Campomarino area.

nvubu 3rd Jul 2019 20:45

Same as my last answer

https://ktd5eg.bn.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none

dook 3rd Jul 2019 20:52

I'm shortly climbing to two feet and levelling off.

Eesa Seecily ?

nvubu 3rd Jul 2019 20:58

Not there either.

dook 3rd Jul 2019 21:08

Over to the night shift.

Sleep well.

sycamore 3rd Jul 2019 22:10

Genoa....?

nvubu 3rd Jul 2019 22:22

It isn't in Genoa either.
More pictures in the morning

nvubu 4th Jul 2019 06:35

Hmmmm…. All quiet on the overnight front

Asturias56 4th Jul 2019 06:52

Cagliari? tho I'm not sure

Allan Lupton 4th Jul 2019 07:56

Perhaps it's San Andrea, Venice, in 1927

nvubu 4th Jul 2019 08:02

Asturias56 has it with Cagliari/Elmas

Few more images

Asturias56 4th Jul 2019 08:23

Wow! that really was a toughie - I thought it might be Venice but Cagliari looked like the only one that was a) near the coast b) possibly extended - but I couldn't find any old images to cross-check.. Flown in there a few times

Let's try this one...................
