From the helmets in the foreground it looks like Germany so Friedrichshafen?

Germany seemed too easy and the type pulled me in a different direction, did I get that one right?
|
Germany, but easy flying distance for the P2 from Holland I'd guess, so the Köln or Bonn area but not Köln-Bonn which was not invented then (c1930)

Please firm up your thoughts. But I also have seen a photo of the P-2 in Hannover.... Does anybody know the range of this aircraft? |
I don't know the range but my guess was that it was not a long range aeroplane!
I see that Bonn/Hangelar has existed since 1909 or thereabouts so if my guess about the area is right I'll go the step further and say that's where it was. I see that LZ 127, "Graf Zeppelin" visited in 1930 so that's a bit more evidence. |

Thanks SLB - oh is the Bi-Polar Bear who posts somewhere any relation?
Here's an easy one which is all I have ready and may even have been used before: https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....296418755d.jpg |

Open House has been declared. |

They were airlifting heavy machinery when we in Europe still thought we were brave flying London to Paris as passengers. |
A bit of useless info re the J52 and PNG...read somewhere a few years ago that one of the years in the early 30's PNG carried more tonnage of airfreight than the rest of the world combined.

Something for the weekend.

https://lzq9ug.am.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none sand in the foreground of the picture says desert to me. brick lay tower means probably build before war, this rules out 90% of the pacific/Asia airports But underground stable enough to cycle says probably not North Africa For the moment I think small USA airbase? edit: by the angle of the sun light these must be shadows of quite large trees. So not so desert-ish as I thought. |
Bathurst???
|
SLB
This airfield hasn't been built in a Desert, but the country it is in does have a desert. This wasn't build before the war. Correct, not North Africa. It looks to be quite large, and had a mixture of bombers, fighters and reconnaissance squadrons/groups chevvrown not Bathurst.. ETA: It looks quite large, but is not longer an airfield - and hasn't been since the 1940s, although the runways were removed sometime after 1980. |
Pandaveswar CBI
|
Smokeon has got it in one, Pandaveswarit is. Over to you.
|
Thank you,nvubu.
O/H |

The only airfield I know with a water tower bang on the extended centreline is Guernsey :)
|
I said it would be easy!
|
I'm amazed it took so long, with some esteemed contributors from the Channel Islands who lurk around these pages...
Here's another airfield of these islands that might not last long. Some of it might even have gone already, I'm not sure... https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....f0028f32b7.jpg |
That's only a few miles from where i'm currently sitting.
I'll leave it for someone else. |
Very gracious of you, flap!
|
Is anyone out there?
To sum up previous clues: it's in the same group of islands that I live in, and flap lives near there. |
And it's featured here before...
|
Edinburgh Turnhouse
|
Absolutely correct, SLB. I think my last challenge on here was from the same airfield. I need to get out more :)
You have control... |
Thanks, not so very easy when you do not have the residence of Flap.
something different: https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....5927f0f20.jpeg |
Tropics. SE Asia. Possibly driving on the left. Malaysia?
|
Is that a (upside-down) Gabonese flag hanging from the lamppost? If so I'll take a shot at Libreville.I'm also thinking the Michelin advert might point to somewhere in the francosphere...
|
Although the airport sign is in Anglais, so maybe not. Hmmm.
