Running low on fuel, but Wiltshire or possibly Buckinghamshire ?

Who's Ricky ?

I lost a dozen mates on Jaguars.

JENKINS 1st Aug 2019 20:58

Just a little clip of the mast, having left my own crewroom earlier, not certain about true name. Much humour from some of my chums.

So, chalk. Yes, plenty in Wiltshire, and altitude, as indicated at beginning, is relevant.

Thanks for you company - at least two of us have been playing this evening.

Glass empty and levelling off at two feet six.

dook 1st Aug 2019 21:57

Not quite empty.

Clyffe Pypard.

JENKINS 2nd Aug 2019 06:38

Spot on, very high but can still be looked down upon from even higher Wiltshire. Similar views down on to Wroughton. Very busy, I believe during National Service training post WW2.

All yours.

dook 2nd Aug 2019 07:48

Thanks J.

There is a clue already in this one.

Out for two hours.

JENKINS 2nd Aug 2019 11:03

Oberpfaffenhofen?

dook 2nd Aug 2019 12:44

You are in the right country.

dash7fan 2nd Aug 2019 12:49

Oberschleissheim ?

sycamore 2nd Aug 2019 13:03

Manching ,Bavaria.....

dook 2nd Aug 2019 13:17

dash7fan gets the top banana.

The Fugwerft Oberschleissheim Museum.

All yours d7f.

dash7fan 2nd Aug 2019 13:40

Looks like a Schweizer but I doubt it.

Your part of the world ?

dash7fan 2nd Aug 2019 14:19

No, ist a Scheibe L-Spatz 55

dook 2nd Aug 2019 15:02

OK - Austria ?

dook 2nd Aug 2019 15:12

Doesn't look small.

Strasshof ?

dash7fan 2nd Aug 2019 16:05

Not Austria, but in the vicinity

dook 2nd Aug 2019 16:29

Two choices I feel.

Switzerland maybe, but I have discovered that glider was popular in Hungary.

The car might be East German or Russian.

JENKINS 2nd Aug 2019 17:53

Munich-Riem?

dash7fan 2nd Aug 2019 18:37

Jenkins, correct city but wrong airport. The Hangar was typical for this field. You could fly through it.

dook 2nd Aug 2019 19:12

Was it military ?

dook 2nd Aug 2019 19:19

Oberwiesenfeld ?

dash7fan 2nd Aug 2019 19:22

Dook is correct. Airport closed 1968. We picked up the glider 1959.

Your control

dook 2nd Aug 2019 19:54

Nice challenge d7f.

I'll put this up.

However, if anyone feels like a shot at posting a challenge, then please feel free to do so and I will then remove this one.

Looks like they are grounded due to some bug in the MCAS system!!

sycamore 2nd Aug 2019 20:25

Possibly Canada,or Orstralia.....?

dook 2nd Aug 2019 20:28

The first one.

JENKINS 2nd Aug 2019 20:57

Scoudouc, New Brunswick?

dook 2nd Aug 2019 21:08

Splash. :ok:

Scoudouc was an RLG for Moncton.

Your round.

JENKINS 2nd Aug 2019 21:28

Thanks. Some amazing photographs of Lancasters left out in the Alberta prairie, and more amazing was the 'Tankaster.' Bedtime now, and busy tomorrow matin, so OH I regret

Self loading bear 2nd Aug 2019 22:10

I will try to reach to Jenkins’ cryptical level:

His flight was bad, not like a gracious falcon.

Now turned into a golf course.

You will have to decript (most) in French


dook 3rd Aug 2019 15:13

That would be fine if I knew what to interpret.

I'm out on this one - see you later.

sycamore 3rd Aug 2019 15:20

Son vol etait mauvais,pas comme un faucon gracieux`...A de S Ex.....?

dook 3rd Aug 2019 15:48

For a thread which is about identifying aerodromes, maybe this is now getting a bit silly !

sycamore 3rd Aug 2019 16:46

Is it in France, ..Paris..?
Who is `he`, Pilatre de Rosiere,...Louis B,,...?

Paris neighbourhood indeed
Not one of the Pioneers above.

There is a French song about him
partial Free translation:

The plane!, the plane!
It climbs into the air,
It hovers over the mountains, it crosses the seas,
Let it go to watch the sun like Icarus
And that it may astray even further
And it puts a trace in the sky, an eternal furrow
But let's keep it the suave name of a plane
Because of it’s magic word, the five clever letters
This virtue opens up mobile skies.

French, what did you do with his air castles?
He left a word, but there is nothing else left of him.
