I shall think out of the box...... the Benelux?
|
The Benelux is correct.
|
the field pattern is distinctive - very "modern" so possibly recovered from the sea in the last 100 years - like around Lelystad.
Thought t might be Middenmeer but can't see any large wind turbines close to it |
Not Middenmeer I'm afraid, in fact not in The Netherlands.
|
looks too flat for the Duchy of Luxembourg so that leaves Belgium?
|
Correct, it's in Belgium.
|
Hoevenen Airfield - right by the docks in N Antwerp
OH if correct |
Hoevenen it is. Open House declared.
|
Just one hop further away from Bergen op Zoom than Woensdrecht
I found the polders along the River Schelde date back till the 17th century Nice challenge Teus! |
Here's an interesting one. There's a clue in the dark object surrounding the runway.

India 42 = Canada = Rockies = big fence
No Red blooded Canadian would be worried about people, rabbits, wild pigs, beavers or even deer on the runway - so something BIGGER - an Elk perhaps? Which takes us to Sparwood/Elk Valley Airport (CYSW) in BC I think OH if correct |
"Elementary, my dear Watson."
Elk Valley it is indeed and the valley is well named. The anti-Elk fence is at least 8' high. I flew in for the first time with a friend in August. It is a bit disconcerting on short final when you cross the fence. The valley is home to a couple of open-cast coal mines and these are not just holes in the ground. Whole mountains are being demolished! Sherlock Asturias has declared Open House. |
Thank you Mycroft........... I see what you mean about those mines - must be over 5 kms across - not very scenic
What age are the coals? |
Here's some serious thread drift. The coals are in the Mist Mountain Formation of the Jura-Cretaceous Kootenay Group.

To stay in line with the thread drift:
Wild boars have performed opencast mining on this Ultra Light airfield. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....7d003b719.jpeg |
Looks like your average airstrip in PNG/W Irian...................

Bear - is this a "challenge" or an "observation"
;) |
I'll have the engine, you can have the wheels.

|
Newtownards?
|
That picture looks weird to me - almost as if it has come from a Computer game/programme..................
|
It is the title photo of a YouTube film.
|
Not Newtownards
Not an island but in Europe |
Lagos, Portugal?
|
Not Lagos Portugal.
I think it is time to further clarify the clue that I stayed in line with the thread drift about opencast mining. Within a few years this airfield will be history. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....aedb2d421.jpeg |
Germany has a fair amount of open cast mining.

Richtig! |
Morschenich
|
Morsenich it is.
The village and the strip lay in the projected area to be mined. Neu-Morshenich is already built to the south Of the Autobahn strasse but the mining company has postponed to demolish the village. nvubu has te lead. |
Thank you. There seem to be quite a few airfields built close to the open cast mines in Germany.
Here is the next challenge https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....1911bd82b7.jpg |
Subsidiary runway at a Royal Air Force training station in the late 1960's. Some of those marks on runway look very familiar.
Just fishing! |
Fish away - not an RAF airfield.
|
|
American road billboard?
|
Lets see - old photos - well probably over 40 years old.
Second photo show traffic driving one the right so not one of those shown here https://www.rhinocarhire.com/Drive-S...-or-Right.aspx Interestingly looks like an advertising hoarding - so unlikely to be in a Peoples Democracy Lot of tire marks so a training airfield? I'll punt on the USA? |
The punt on the USA is correct.
Not a training airfield. I'm fairly sure it isn't a railroad billboard. |
Railroad? RAILROAD?? Who mentioned railroad?
Unless the strip nearest to us in photo 2 is a railroad?? |
