It is indeed mainland France.
It was exclusively military. Disused since 1998. It is away from the Atlantic coast and the Channel. |
|
|
Best to avoid that place.....
Broyes-les-Pesmes.....OH if correct |
Great shooting sycamore.
S has called OH sadly. |
Interestingly the radar is blotted out on GE 2018 imagery... god knows why as it 's available on earlier versions
|
I don't know either.
My close-up was not taken from the present GE. My next clue was going to be 143.050MHz which would have got it |
To cover the Sycamore hole, try this where the local village has long had a significant tree. A prominent WW2 defence line passed thereby.

Why the HUGE hammerheads at each end?
What da' hell did they have landing and departing there? (ref: dook's previous challenge) |
Mirage III and Mirage 2000 I think - 2e Esc de Chasse according to the French sites....................
"The air base was built in 1959 as a NATO dispersed air base. After NATO's withdrawal from France in 1967, it continued to serve as a backup base for the largest French air base, Base Ačrienne 102 at Dijon." from Forgotten Airfields |

Jenkins - is that the GHQ defence line we're looking at?

That makes sense Asters - cheers. See it ceased ops in 2005 but no doubt el Radar continues its quite purpose.

GHQ Defence Line it is, but which colour?

Green ? (A word, that after a couple of glasses ceases to make sense to the eye; like the word banana) |
RAF Ramsbury.
On the R. Kennet Approx 2 miles East of Axford. On the Blue Line. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Ramsbury Always a bit depressing to see an interesting historic site given over to agriculture - but it could be worse I suppose. Could be covered in housing. OH if all correct and present Jenkers. |
Yes, Ramsbury, with Mildenhall a couple of miles, left that is, to the West.
|
On this particular night let's raise a glass to these fellows.
Maximum points if you can ID the Runway. But let's give Eagle best on nailing it. Open House. Open Universe. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....944445e662.jpg |
It amazes me that many people still think it was all faked.
A recent analysis of moon rock samples reveals that they could not possibly have come from Earth. |
Dook, it was all fake! It shows that Fake news doesn’t Trump up lately. This photo gives definite prove that the landingzone was on Teterboro runway 06/24!! Open universe if proven to be correct. |
….and there was I thinking it was Half Moon Bay !
|
|
Yet another GE view !
|
Typhoons on the apron?
|
|
Sorry - is this a new challenge or the same airfield only with a non-GE pic, SLB?

Same airfield |
Looking at the aeroplanes and the trilby hat I would guess USA.
|
Purdue Airport maybe.
|
Dook scores again Purdue University Airport Where Neil Armstrong studied. (Wapakoneta would have been to easy, but i didn’t get to the second clue anyway) https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....920240055.jpeg |
|
Clearly not Port Stanley! ;) |
A stick of 1000 pounders at fifteen or so degrees to the runway would never have cut it !
We could have laid down several retards from 200 feet straight down the runway but didn't have anywhere from where to operate. |
Must have been deliberately `scuttled` to prevent further use....
Egypt,Libya, Iraq,or somewhere else...? |
Keep going on that idea......:)
|
Looks German to me
|
You like these don't you.
German yes, but not Germany. |
|
sycamore,
