Looks Mediterranean,near coast,Portugal or Spain...?

Certainly Mediterranean and coastal, but you need to go east.

Near Barcelona?

Go east to the land of islands.

Ignorant newbie here - but love this thread!

Couldn't resist a punt -

Hal Far, Málta?

Hello Expatrick.

That's one island - I suggested the land of islands. I also suggested think sport.

Please don't remain a newbie - join in more.

Marathon - where the Olympic Rowing & Canoeing centre now is?

Strike ! Marathon it is.

Over to you. :)

Ah thanks! I shall. I thought of Hal Far because the surviving runway is (or was) used a a drag racing strip! I shall try again!

As above, nvubu cracked the sport.

Thanks dook. The Athens Olympics - lots of the venues used once and not since - check the hockey pitches (my sport) at the old airport on GE over time. What a complete waste.

And for the next aerodrome

Lossa sky.

Do I see French biplanes ?

Helpfully, the name of the airfield was printed in large letters just below the hangars, so I had to cut them out :)

They may well be French, but more likely another nationality.

Might they be American in France, as in expeditionary ?

That they would.

here's some more sky:

Parois maybe ?

This aerodrome is not at Parois. It is no longer an airfield, and hasn't been for a while.

Here are some aeroplanes (and sky)

This might be a long tour !

Methinks it was a temporary field.

Bicqueley ?

Not Bicqueley and it wasn't a temporary field, used in both wars.

You'll like this picture :ok:.

There is a aerial composite of the local town on the wall of this trailer :)

Too small? click here for a larger version. (I've blanked the name of the town out).

Did you say I'd like it ?

Due to the photo on the wall.

That's what I assumed. :uhoh:

Airfield is just off the bottom of the picture on the wall - and I'd say the North as at the bottom of the picture.

Strange therefore that the north arrow is the other wat round. Perhaps that's the direction of the intelligence caravan.

Are we near Tours ?

If it was used in both wars might it be Toul-Croix De Metz ?

Well found, you have it with Toul-Croix De Metz.

Comparing the image with GE, the left hand side looks more like the eastern side of the town, and aren't those railways criss-crossing at the bottom of the picture - which are to the north of the town?

This chap was also stationed here.

Thank you - it did turn out to be quite a tour.

I am not sure of the caravan photo orientation to be honest.

I think I am the only player here who can devote a lot of time to the challenges.

I have no wish to be thought of as a hog and therefore feel it's appropriate to call OH.

You're not a hog; you've refreshed a thread that had got a bit stale.

Very gentlemanly of you to say so. Thank you.

However, an odd PM recently leads me to think that my presence here is not always appreciated.

Start looking for this spot. Language appreciation may help.

Hi JENKs, Got to be USA surely?

Indeed it is. GBS or Oscar Wilde defined the language situation, cannot be pinned down.

Hmmm. Louisiana?

Not Louisiana. Certainly a state with a long history, and one which had an unwitting role in relatively recent events. Think words, think language.

Cajun...? filet gumbo,on the bayou....?

No, but words open up a route.

And looking South, if the other view failed to cut it for you.....

Now, bedtime. The state? The Catholics liked it, and Warby flew it.

Yes, not in bed yet. Freeway, not a word used in the English language, but certainly used in the American language, and perhaps a reasonable word to describe that main road. No doubt that will change. There was unwitting relevance here 17 years ago.

The future is not Orange, it seems, since OH declared.
