Visby on Gotland? Sweden

dook 27th Jul 2019 08:18

Your thread.

BOH at a guess

dook 27th Jul 2019 09:52

I think we're in an ATR42.

Asturias56 27th Jul 2019 10:58

Yes - tho occasionally it's a 72.......

if it's BOH things have changed a bit .............:p

South America....?

Asturias56 27th Jul 2019 13:13

Yes - tho I doubt you'll ever have heard of this spot.

https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....be0925f922.jpg

dook 27th Jul 2019 13:58

Start at the top.

Brazil ?

Asturias56 27th Jul 2019 16:05

No - here are the local security boys at the airfield - and a picture of a catch they made a year or so back............ I believe it was a young lady employee at the airfield who decided to augment her income.............

Maybe associated with drugs.

dook 27th Jul 2019 16:19

South America - drugs bust - female.

Venezuela ?

Asturias56 27th Jul 2019 16:27

Yes it's the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela - the locals aren't very pro-Maduro from what I understand - they are always complaining about lack of electricity, lack of broadband, lack of just about everything but I doubt that worries the Great Leader

And it was drugs - a large Toyota packed to the rafters apparently............. not sure if she was delivering or collecting at the field

dook 27th Jul 2019 16:39

I'm still looking for the airfield.

Asturias56 27th Jul 2019 16:45

here's a picture taken after take-off..................

I don't speak Spanish, but is near Apure ?

dook 27th Jul 2019 18:39

I had never heard of Las Flecheras either.

edit: also known as Aeropuerto San Fernando de Apure.

Asturias56 27th Jul 2019 19:51

Dook has it again!!

It is indeed Las Flecheras (the Canoes) at SF de Apure

several flights a week to somewhere else, been around for ?350 - 400 years ? believe it or not

Our man in Venezuela told me the big claim to fame these days is one of the best Ladies Rugby Union teams in the country.................. (but don't tell the blokes!)

Good day everyone.

Asturias56 28th Jul 2019 08:36

which direction is North?

dook 28th Jul 2019 08:42

Just to the right of top.

We are looking about 340.

Asturias56 28th Jul 2019 10:14

is that in a river or an estuary? Doesn't look like much like a sea to me.........

dook 28th Jul 2019 10:22

It's a river estuary just before the sea.

Asturias56 28th Jul 2019 11:19

I think we are East of Suez?

dook 28th Jul 2019 11:37

We're a long way west of it.

Asturias56 28th Jul 2019 11:43

The America's?

Asturias56 28th Jul 2019 11:47

Got it!! Islas Martin Garcia - right in the middle of the Rio Plate but in Uruguay................. not that many big estuaries with both trees AND a small island that has an airport................

https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....a2ddbb7b65.jpg

dook 28th Jul 2019 11:49

Bingo - nicely done.

All yours. :ok:

Self loading bear 28th Jul 2019 11:57

Actually according GE the airport is on the Argentinian side of the island.
But a good challenge and find anyway.

Asturias56 28th Jul 2019 12:01

OK - it was just too well developed to be Alaska or Newfoundland...

Try this.... the Airport is not located in the town who's name it bears..........

Now here's an interesting aircraft ID problem....

dook 28th Jul 2019 13:01

Eastern Europe ?

Asturias56 28th Jul 2019 13:22

yes - it foxed me for a while - but an aircraft ahead of it's time ...... . not E Europe

We're talking late 50's early 60's

dook 28th Jul 2019 14:50

….ahead of its' time....

France or Italy ?

sycamore 28th Jul 2019 15:24

Meteor u16 or u21....... UK or OZ...?

chevvron 28th Jul 2019 15:53

Farnborough? Architecture is similar to some of the (now demolished) buildings.

dook 28th Jul 2019 16:07

Quite possibly RAAF Edinburgh, Adelaide.

Good ID sycamore and if it is, the credit must go to you.
