Thought I recognised it from when I posted the challenge on #7463

Just getting the next challenge ready.

OK, here we go for the next challenge. This airfield is under construction, but where is it?

I have no real idea but, Truk ?

Betio ! - Tarawa

Funafuti ?

It is none of the above. (I did have an airfield on Tarawa lined up, but decided against it.)

You are all in the right arena - although Jenks suggestion of Cassidy International is the furthest away.

Airfield complete now.

Henderson Field SI ?

Neither Henderson Field or Nanumea,

It doesn't look like it is active although the outline is still present.

Three firsts here:

First aircraft to land:

Majuro...…..?

maybe Bauer field ?

But perhaps we're in the Solomons.

I have to keep looking up all these suggestions in case it was/is known under another name.

Not Majuro, Bauer Field or in the Solomons.

Anyone want a photo from the air that might help?

Port Moresby?

I would like to know if Tuvalu is close.

Or if we're in the New Hebrides.

The Solomon islands are closer than the New Hebrides.

Perhaps somewhere else in the Marshall Islands.

Or the Marianas, but they were bomber bases.

Solomon Islands are the closest yet.

Perhaps near Mono Island.

Bougainville island ?

You have the right country with Bougainville Island.

here's one aerial.
