Looks like you got it sabredog. Spent a good part of the morning in Norway (GE) Jan Mayen and all, and missed it :*

Spent some time time in Nunavut trying to find paved airfields. Too good-looking surface for Siberia.

Ho hum.

sabredog is correct:ok: Fahr Rost Lufthaven, Lofoten Islands, Norway. Terrence has control.

Thank you,Brian.
The next challenge is;

Graveley??

Sorry,Chevvron. It is not Graveley.

Steeple Morden?

Little Staughton?

Sabredog, how many of these towers (three middle-sized windows) RAF aerodromes had, at one point in their history? More than 50, I'd guess, but how many more?

Never had the time to count them,Regdep!

Kimbolton Airfield?

Leicester East?

Sorry,Gentlemen, neither Leicester East or Kimbolton, but was used by the 8th.Air Force.

Wow! That narrows it down to 72 airfields.

RAF Andrews Field

Edit: If not, RAF Deenethorpe

Neither,Regdep.

How about Boxsted, then. That would qualify as an obscure one.

Or Great Dunmow . . .

Sorry,Regdep, it is not Boxted. The photograph is available on the web,and
the U.S.A.A.F. operated both the A-20 Havoc and the A-26 Invader from this airfield. It's name belies it size!

386th Bomb Group, Matching Green.

Little Walden? (if I understand correctly what "bellies" means)

Matches also the Havoc and Invader clue. And the tower is of the correct type, medium front windows 343/43.

Found the photo :ok:.

I reckon its RAF Little Walden?

Little Warden is correct,Regdep. Sorry,Stressfree,pipped by one minute.
Welcome to the thread.
Regdep,YHC

Sabredog, many thanks!

Thank you Sabredog.

Next

No Sir, not that.

Responding StressFree's #146 :ooh:

Lakenheath, Suffolk?

Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, USA?

Not that, either.

Ramstein, Germany.

Kadena, Okinawa (Vietnam era)?

Not Kadena. The moronic Cold War era.

Moron air base, in not so sunny Spain then.

Exactly F3WMB, well spotted not-so-subtle clue :D:

Over to you :ok:

Hatfield (sorry Fox3, your p-bucket gives it away!)

There's only a few places the Yanks can park that many tankers..

I'm new here, so you may have had this one,in which case let me know.

http://www.hatfield-herts.co.uk/avia...d1947A-360.jpg

Clue: You would have found 'Cats-eyes' on the airfield as well as the roads

Hatfield - as Reg pointed out below!

(can't fathom out why my replies keep appearing in the 'wrong' sequence?)

Nice to have you here Fox3WheresMyBanana

You'll find the list of previous posts in here http://www.pprune.org/aviation-histo...ml#post3884576, second link from top.

And another tip: Disguise your file names :ok:

OK, you've had the aerodrome above before (but maybe not that photo, so bonus points if you get it), but not this one.
Don't know how to hide image info - so don't cheat!. I once landed a Cessna 152 here.

http://www.paulsquires.co.uk/xatlantic/kulusukapp2.jpg

Hatfield is correct Jindabyne - 'Cats-eyes' Cunningham was a test pilot here.
Also, my grandad did the electrics on Mossie engines here during WWII, my mum was a Tech Records clerk on the Comet, my dad landed a Tiger Moth here and I flew an F3 out of here in 1993 just before it closed. How's that for a family connection?

Feel free to take over, or wait till somebody guesses the other one. Sorry all for the confusion!

F3WMB if you use Photobucket, you can edit the file name before posting

http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/...26um174021.png

Don't forget to replace the previous file in Photobucket (otherwise you may get funny results). If you use something else, I am sure they have the same feature.

AND, please keep one challenge in force at the time. :ok: One challenge -> Correct answer -> challenge poster validates -> winner posts a new or declares Open House, which is the free-for-all to post.

AND don't worry, everybody is confused once in a while. Just the new ones are forgiven a bit easier :}.
