Keep taking the tablets Bear!
Its a reasonably well known International airport........ but may be replaced in coming years...... https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....fb5abe3381.jpg |
Hmm, may be replaced in the coming years and 151ft.
Berlin Schönefeld? Nice people in the tower there. I really liked the crossings they allowed me. |
Not Berlin - further south...................... not too far from the coast as Bear has noticed..............

Suspect Air France, guess Ajaccio?
|
Those Constellation fin markings are TAP.
Possibly Lisbon. |
The master strikes again Lisboa it is..........................

Thank you 56.
I'm going for the flying machine challenge, so OH. |
The thread seems to have stalled - so here's one from me for the weekend - I have many more images of this airfield.

Have you defaulted to France again ?
|
|
1914 - 1918 I presume?
Does the airstrip still exist?? |
It doesn't look temporary but was it ?
Maybe German. |
1914-18 - tick
Still exists - tick German - cross https://najg9q.am.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none |
French then ?
edit: they might be Morane-Saulniers or Spads. |
These aircraft aren't French, and I'm fairly sure that they aren't either of these types.
|
Oh dear.
RFC ? |
In my youth, Pruniers was a fish restaurant in London. 'Twas also WW1 complex.
|
|
So not RFC so American Expeditionary Force ?
|
Yes - the Americans were here.
|
Is it Tours ?
|
|
You said it is still in use.
Military ? Maybe it was known as an air service park. |
'snot Toul is it ?
|
It isn't Toul - and I don't think it was known as an Air Service Park. Still part military
An overhead (north is up) https://mddbag.am.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none |
Angers??
OH if correct |
|
I did think my last image would help with the distinctive runway - the first hard runway ever built. Clermont-Ferrand it is. Over to dook.
Photos from when the 7th Aviation Instruction Center was based there. Here's another distinctive view - that can still be seen today. https://ai64ug.am.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none |

Guessing Channel Islands. Toss of coin says Jersey.
|
What sort of coin are you using ?
Not an island. |

Gutersloh?
we will know in 9 hours. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....a8b19744ec.png |
To save time, OH if correct.
|
chevvron gets the top banana with Gutersloh, and can obviously shoot in the dark.
He has previously called OH. |
28 hours no other takers,
You can put your teeth into this. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....4705daa65.jpeg |
Mediterranean?
|
Right on the spot
|
clever picture - not a single shadow visible so hard to tell if we're facing N orS E or W
It looks like the Adriatic coast of Italy maybe? but 3 spots - somewhere quite big?? |
A heliport I feel.
