Thanks Dook - 485th BG at Venosa.

dook 29th Oct 2019 13:39

Bingo with Venusa.

Over to you. :ok:

Shackman 29th Oct 2019 13:41

Sorry to say - Open House.

dook 29th Oct 2019 13:42

After all that work.

Shackman 29th Oct 2019 16:54

Took a Shack to Foggia in '71. The locals (and the USAF at Souda Bay) thought the B-24s had returned!!

dook 31st Oct 2019 09:34

A reminder that we are still at OH.

Self loading bear 31st Oct 2019 18:58

I think this is also called an open house?

10/10 for humour !

I first thought it is an ATC rower, but it can't be.

Is it a guard post or something similar ?

jensdad 31st Oct 2019 20:27

Hi team,
The graffiti seems to be at least partly in the Roman alphabet (hard to tell) and Western numbers (definitely). But the landscape looks like somewhere in India, Pakistan or that neck of the woods.
Turkey?

The words top left say "finger lickin good" with an image of Col. Sanders.

An American base therefore and to me it looks more like a desert.

jensdad 31st Oct 2019 20:59

Ah, I see. I'm thinking Pakistan or Afghan then. Never having been to that part of the world thankfully, I can't venture any further guesses...

Self loading bear 31st Oct 2019 21:01

Dook it’s a former guard tower.
Jensdad, I just found a better picture

dook 31st Oct 2019 21:05

Bear's latest says I was correct about the graffiti.

Well, if it's a recent occupation or combat zone I'll go for Afghanistan.

Since Bear has posted under aerodrome it must narrow it down.

dook 31st Oct 2019 21:11

Google

"american air bases guard tower Afghanistan" and the last image appears on the second line.

Bagram.

Self loading bear 31st Oct 2019 21:29

Former Russian guard tower at Bagram it is.
Over to you Dook

dook 31st Oct 2019 21:47

Thank you Bear.

Bahrain ? I think you meant Bagram.

I have challenges up on the other two threads so this one has to be OH

chevvron 2nd Nov 2019 09:36

Somebody, anybody?

dook 2nd Nov 2019 09:39

OK then...…..

Autobahn landeplatz in former East block?

dook 2nd Nov 2019 10:13

Yes and yes.

Self loading bear 3rd Nov 2019 10:52

I have searched East Germany and Poland but no matching Autobahn as far as I could find.
I have the idea we need another clue.

dook 3rd Nov 2019 10:56

Good day Bear.

Nice to see someone here. I am thinking the other two new threads are taking attention.

Estonia......

Self loading bear 3rd Nov 2019 11:02

First try and probably a hit as is fairly matching today’s google maps:
jagala varava

dook 3rd Nov 2019 11:04

It is a hit with Jagala.

Your next shot.

Self loading bear 3rd Nov 2019 11:19

Thanks dook
this is not an AutoBahn Abschnitt:

Cubs2jets 3rd Nov 2019 12:59

USA, eastern side? Virginia?

C2j

Self loading bear 3rd Nov 2019 13:35

No
they have no Autobahn only freeways

dook 3rd Nov 2019 16:14

Flugplatz Giengen-Brenz

Self loading bear 3rd Nov 2019 18:27

I think the pilot needs a hair cut!
one of the Channel Islands?

dook 4th Nov 2019 10:46

A long, long way west of the Channel Islands.

Self loading bear 4th Nov 2019 13:35

USA East coast
or even West coast?

dook 4th Nov 2019 13:39

South of the USA Bear.

chevvron 4th Nov 2019 16:15

Tobago Crown Point?

dook 4th Nov 2019 16:33

Go west to the mainland - it's not an island.

Self loading bear 5th Nov 2019 19:05

This limits it to about 10.000 miles of coastline.
Can we reduce it by answering north or south of Colon Panama?

Self loading bear 6th Nov 2019 20:01

I have received PM from dook
He cannot post
we can continue on this thread
We are north of colon

dook 6th Nov 2019 20:15

Good on you Bear.

Thank you.
