jensdad - you were closer with that first answer.

No-one else want a punt?

Belgium then???
I stab at Liege

No no no Bear - South...
jensdad had it with France...

My flight planning software says 160° - (see Airbus A320 ND above) or thereabouts...from Lerwick.

Good hunting Bear.

Colmar has some hills in the background.
But seems to be to far away?

They are - as you say - too far away.
But your compass might need a dip - round to the right a bit.

S France - Pyrenees???

Right country - wrong mountains Asters,

If you're down there see if you can tune to the Toulouse VOR (TOU 117.70) - go TO then fly the O/Bound Rad of about 50ºM. You'll lose the VOR at 130NM or so but you'll need to keep flying a fair bit after that until you get there.

Not many navigations skills in evidence here.

Auxtank has told you where it is and how to get there !

It is not so much the skills as the hardware available.
I like this way of clues but I
have no (free) app for air navigation on my phone.
anything you can recommend?

Yes - Google Earth.

Make sure you set the distance measuring scale to nautical miles.

I'm sure you have that, but there's one simple thing to do before it. :)

I think it might be Bellegarde - Vouvray.

Don't mind if I do.

Bravo Flap40. It is indeed Bellegarde-Vouvray Airport; ICAO: LFHN; IATA: Type: Small Airport.

You win the prize...

- though note This Vouvray is not THE Vouvray - Loire Valley, where said celebrated wines come from.

Bear - a good free air nav map is Skyvector https://skyvector.com
SkyDemon is very good but you need a subscription.

Flap40 you have control.

Google earth
A right I used Google maps up to now .
GE gives distance but not heading?

GE gives bearing and distance. Bearing is degrees true.

Ta. Open house.

So,the DME was to LTP then....?

The A320 ND was solely to give a HDG clue from Lerwick - with instructions to Ignore DME.
Though you're correct in that LTP is indeed on that course.

By that token if you'd followed the nav clue I gave Asturas56 From VOR TOU outbound 50ºM you would have flown slightly N of LTP and closer to VOR LSE at Lyon.

If I do another - Navigate to the aerodrome - challenge I shall ensure that all given nav clues fit together and can be cross-referenced.
It was coincedence that the bearing did in this case - so well spotted.

OH has been called by winner Flap40

I, for one, have no idea what any of that means - apart from the OH.

I follow the railways..............

Sorry - navigation's my bag, as it were.

Asters - railways are good - especially as they glint nicely in the moonlight.

Anyone got anything? where's the dook?

dook is here, but I have a challenge up on the silhouette thread.

I think 56 might mean IFR.

Thought so.
See you over on the silhouette thread.

Should not be difficult as BOAC was only a small operator compared to today’s Airlines?

Hong Kong?

Sorry for disappearing mid-challenge there. I'll be interested to find out where this is, if only because it looks very much like my local. It isn't, by the way. I'll take a stab at Gander.

Tokyo Haneda

Jensdad,
You will have to stay tuned a little longer it is not
Honk Kong
Tokio
nor Gander

USA or South America ?

Are we in the Far East?

Is that a KLM tail top right? If so hazard a guess at Schiphol?

Military Airlift Command.

Think it might be Bangkok....tropical weather,lightweight clothing,USAF C54,couple of Beech 18s,possibly couple of other mils ,left upper...dolly with umbrella...

ID of the MATS C-54 is probably correct.
(thanks for this find, I can now present my son with a whole lot of his “own” aircraft!)
The twin engine to be a KLM is highly unlikely.
Weather assessed correct.
Not in the Far East

Nice to see such a great crowd on the search.

Palisadoes, Jamaica.

I think you missed my previous post.

I have not missed it all.
If I don’t answer it, it should say enough.

But not Jamaica.

In the neighbourhood though?

Yes, In the neighborhood as being
USA or South America
(and tropical weather)

"I have not missed it all.
If I don’t answer it, it should say enough."

I seem to have missed something here. If you do not answer then I understand you mean correct. This should be interesting.

Must be Central America then. If that's correct then I assume you will remain quiet.
