It does indeed - here's a slightly less cropped picture..................... and not N Africa................ tho units who served here also served in N Africa I believe

Ah - a British officer.

So,

Americans & Brits together WW1
Royal Navy WW2.

I think we could be in UK.

Putting all this together and looking further.

Could be, could be

At one time these operated there but not RN

"Ah - a British officer."

memo to Asturias - No aeroplanes, no duffle coats in future............................

…..or what appears to be a DH10....

"Most every day we have a crash or two,
That's why we are so short of men,
So if you want to take a trip to Heaven quick,
You've only got to fly a D.H.10"

Middle East somewhere?

Got it !

HMS Jackdaw, Crail, Scotland.

Yes - also No 27 Training Depot Station (USAAF Sq 120, RAF 104 Sq, HMS Bruce, The Black Watch, St Andrews Univ Air Sq, Joint Services School for Linguists & the E of Scotland Cart Club....... Dook has it ..................

That was not easy.

One aeroplane here but no duffle coats.

That a river tot the right?

And which way is North please?

It has a N American look to it I feel.......................

It is a river and north is to the left.

Not USA though.

Hmmm so could be Canada?

Not in Canada either.

Another view - a bit busier.


https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....1211aced93.jpg

Netherlands? looks a bit flat................

This place certainly isn't flat !

Is that the Rhine? Austria?

Well it doesn't look like Ladakh so I'll go for Switzerland.....................

ea200 has the right country.

Reichenau air field (Flugplatz Reichenau) after ea200's great lead............... replaced by Innsbruck

OH if correct

Innsbruck it is.

OH then.

https://www.forgottenairfields.com/a...henau-253.html

has it in Austria with your picture central........................... it's also the old "Innsbruck"

Ta - I've just discovered that and posted the OH above.

A Vickers Virginia? Out East I guess..................

Belay that - I think it's a Vickers Victoria - fuselage shape....................... or a Victoria Mk V = Valentia - some served with the Indian Air Force pre-war..................

Close on the aircraft Asters.
Phone call first thing this morning means I'm going to be unable to attend the Thread for today and tomorrow at least.
So will re-post over the weekend.

Does that mean you wish to back to OH ?

Surely we don't want a dead thread for two days at least.

or even a Vernon........................

But where's the big bulbous nose and extended ailerons ?

Gentlemen,

Auxtank has removed his challenge photograph so we are back to OH.

no need to get personal................... :ok:

I guess AUx gets control when he says he's back - maybe the next OH after he's back??

Ok - try try again again - not sure we've had a challenge from here recently ...............

https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....a4a644008e.jpg

If I happen to have a challenge up when Auxtank returns I shall remove it and let him in.

I think that would be the fairest way of playing it.

"UH-60 Blackhawk delivering aid" brings up the image.

Punta Arenas, Costa Rica.

Afraid I got that image from another airfield - well the one shown with the mountains - which isn't in Costa Rica

How interesting.

My answer came from a military site Joint Task Force-Bravo.

Beneath the photograph it says:

A U.S. Navy sailor deployed to the U.S.N.S. Comfort guides in a UH-60 Blackhawk carrying medical equipment and supplies July 21, 2019, Punta Arenas, Costa Rica. Pilots and aircrew assigned to the 1st Battalion, 228th Aviation transported personnel and equipment to allow the U.S. Naval Ship Comfort to provide medical care to Costa Rican citizens and Venezuelan migrants as part of the United States enduring promise of helping its southern neighbors. The Winged Warriors transported more than 470 people and 20 tons of cargo from July 21 - 30.

Something is clearly incorrect in one of the sites.

I have researched JTF-Bravo helicopters in South America and Soto Cano comes up quite a bit.

So is that it ?

Just back from wining and dining a US client...............

Yes its Base Aérea Cnel. Jose Enrique Soto Cano, Palmerola, Comayagua, Honduras

Big US base and shortly to be the new regional airport

Dook has control in the midnight hour......................

Grazie Asturias.

That was a search minefield.

Danger - aeroplanes...
