No questions.

Eastern front, Russia 1943.

Thought it maybe Babruysk/Sychkovo....

It is in what is now Russia, east of Belarus.

Bryansk Front for non-acrylic speakers............

As it is slap bang in the middle of the result of searching for the above (when translated into English), do you win this one by naming your own challenge :)

I didn't name the airfield but it was time for a good clue as it's been up for a long time I reckon.

So what exactly is the airfield Asturias ?

Its Bryansk itself - actually in the suburb of Potyovka

Winner has to be Dook - he answered his own challenge ... (well it is Monday....)

Do you have anything ready ?

Ast,last photo from back seat of Magister (Fouga)../

Back to the Pacific graveyards, big island/mainland/small island,N of Equ....?

If you are still going with mine, big island southern hemisphere.

I believe so - I think it was the Training Command who used Pori up to the mid '00's I think - hawks as wll.................

Dook -Borneo/Kalimantan?

Or is the island ALL south of the Equator?

It is all south of the Equator - just.

Looks like we're back in the colorful isle of New Guinea (including PNG, Irian Jaya, W Irian etc etc)

Near the N Coast?

Very yes to both.

After the post by Asturias I'll keep refreshing this page......

Could be Nadzab?

Good morning Auxtank.

Go north west.

Ileg? That's on the coast...................

Keep going NW - getting closer.

This airfield is still in use.

Madang is next..................

Keep going NW.

Wewak? Any farther NW and I'll be in Manila..................

You're there !

During WW2 it was called Boram.
