PPRuNe Forums - Which Aerodrome Mk III

Ok the flag I agree you only can recognize it when you know the logo of the operator.

Copenhagen?

Looks like a hit.

I've found what I think is the very Fokker, now with Townend rings around the wing engines.

edited for spelling.

Not copenhagen
if you have found the Danish Fokker
you can determine its register nr.
And then it is easy.

I can only see the last two letters IG, and G is in your challenge photo.

In any case it's at Copenhagen so no matter.

Found the aircraft full registration after going through over 5000 !

There is one photograph of it at Copenhagen, another at Aalborg and another in Berlin.

Crashed at Kastrup in 1945.

Dook ,

thats the one!

good perseverance.
i am a bit surprised you had to go through 5000 photos
I was reluctant to give the type away because
If you would have googled Fokker XII
OY-DIG is the 4th picture.

The logo on the flag:

I promise when I present my next challenges it will be a matter of minutes

I didn't - I went through the historical Danish registration list and unfortunately OY-DIG is towards the end.

Dook,

what great resolution!
high colonial content.

In the front left looks like a DC-4
In the middle a two engine; double tail tail dragger.
lots of choice will look into that later.
above the double tail looks like a triple tail at one end but like a carvair at the other end.

So we are thinking French.
That triple tailed aircraft in the background looks like it could be an Avro York, which was also operated by the French military.
They also operated C-54s, and if this is the place I think it is, one of them is plugged into that hill in the background.
I'll go for La Tontouta, showing what is now the military side of the international airport on New Caledonia.
