No, none of those. Will add a clue tomorrow if still going.

Coltishall? I know there used to be an RAF SAR station there.

kenparry 7th Feb 2018 22:00

Not Colt - but, yes, there was an SAR flt there at one time

Open House if correct

Same airfield, same day, this time showing both the then-resident types.

I don’t have much idea, but is it Cranwell ?

WIDN62 8th Feb 2018 07:29

RAF Acklington?

Airclues 8th Feb 2018 07:32

RAF Finningley?

OH if correct.

kenparry 8th Feb 2018 07:34

Bingo! RAF Acklington, taken in August 1963. Home of 6FTS and a flight of 228 Sqn - which the following year was renumbered as 202 Sqn.

The airfield closed in the late 60s, much of the site was the mined opencast for coal, and the old technical site is now the location of two prisons. How things change.

WIDN62 has control.

WIDN62 8th Feb 2018 07:40

Woohoo!
Just off to work - I will post a challenge this evening if that is acceptable - otherwise OH.

Pearls Airport in Grenada, during the US invasion?

jensdad 8th Feb 2018 20:54

Just realised that might be an RAF Herc on the background, and if so the photo was obv not taken during the US invasion. Still reckon it might be Pearls though.

WIDN62 8th Feb 2018 20:56

Not Grenada!

jensdad 8th Feb 2018 20:59

Was I in the right neck of the woods?

chevvron 8th Feb 2018 21:05

Ascension?

broadreach 8th Feb 2018 21:09

Whew, I was just about to post that the picture ruled out Northern Hemisphere and Western Hemisphere, with the vegetation and terrain pointing straight at SE Asia.

Edit: just noticed that most of SE Asia’s in the Northern Hemisphere. I do apologise and promise to do better etc.
