Italy maybe?

nvubu 23rd Sep 2019 12:38

We are not in Italy.

dook 23rd Sep 2019 12:41

If it was a German-occupied country, how about Greece ?

nvubu 23rd Sep 2019 12:52

You now have the right country with Greece.

Is this a new airport, replacement for one just out of shot on the right/bottom on the shore of a lake?

dook 23rd Sep 2019 14:04

Not a replacement and there's no lake.

Opened 2001.

nvubu 23rd Sep 2019 14:07

OK - not the one I was thinking of then :ok:
Best get back to work.

sycamore 23rd Sep 2019 14:30

dook 23rd Sep 2019 15:05

Yes and yes.

Self loading bear 23rd Sep 2019 19:56

West Africa ?

dook 23rd Sep 2019 20:05

Good evening Bear.

Not Africa I'm afraid.

Go east.

Self loading bear 23rd Sep 2019 20:32

I searched Bangladesh.
I don’t think it is there.
Further east?

dook 23rd Sep 2019 20:34

Further east.

India Four Two 23rd Sep 2019 20:48

Sweet Cape airfield/Tanjung Manis ;051/66nm from Kuching....E Malaysia...

dook,you could go 198/23nm from Kcg. and take SWMBO on a golfing holiday ..a bit uphill,and you`ll need your hotwater-bottle and jimjams at night...dressing for dinner `de rigeur`.......OH if correct

Once had to judge a Longhouse `beauty queen` contest of local ladies near there;;can`t show the pics as I`d be banned !

Octane 24th Sep 2019 02:45

I was playing golf in Malaysia a while ago when a monkey ran out, grabbed my ball and took off with it:}

dook 24th Sep 2019 08:35

We spent three weeks in Brunei in 1986.

I remember condensation on the windows - on the outside.

sycamore gets the top banana with Tanjung Manis and has called OH.

Octane - that would be an "outside agency" then.

JENKINS 24th Sep 2019 09:18

In the search for possibly the oldest airfield, I thought of this which has good reason to be named close to that search topic.

Good morrow J.

Do I NB a UK solar farm ?

chevvron 24th Sep 2019 10:24

Dunno the name but it's about 4nm east of Lewes in Sussex and just west of the village called 'Ripe'. (It's not Deanland although that's not far away)

JENKINS 24th Sep 2019 10:40

Solar farm, yes. That was quick Chevvron, 'named' being the clue which I inserted since this is Kittyhawk Farm in Sussex, exactly where you placed it. Now I can go back to my ironing and the rugby.

chevvron 24th Sep 2019 12:51

Open house

How about this then..?

dook 24th Sep 2019 14:07

I'll kick off then.

Looks disused. Is that aeroplane some kind of museum or visitor attraction ?

Cubs2jets 24th Sep 2019 14:39

The large aircraft looks like a Constellation. The geography looks like USA (Florida?). I can't find a Connie survivor that matches the setting.

C2j

sycamore 24th Sep 2019 15:08

dook ,both...maybe disused,or cropsprayer...,..not a Connie,not USA...

dook 24th Sep 2019 15:33

Is it a Britannia in Europe ?
