Gulf beat me. EHRD when it had that great little terrace rampside !

olympus 31st May 2012 12:29

Sorry guys, not Odense or Rotterdam.

descol 31st May 2012 12:57

copenhagen ?

olympus 31st May 2012 13:28

Not Scandinavia; think Germany.

Krakatoa 31st May 2012 13:38

I will go for Cologne. OH if correct

olympus 31st May 2012 14:19

Krakatoa is correct and has declared Open House.

LFT 31st May 2012 19:05

1st clue - Northern Hemisphere..

chevvron 1st Jun 2012 22:58

To try to get things rolling, I'll guess New Orleans Lakefront (might get another clue then!)

LFT 1st Jun 2012 23:46

C130/C17 etc (believe it or not) types only..

twochai 2nd Jun 2012 02:59

MCAS Quantico? Home of Marine Corps Helicopter Squadron One, the unit which flies the President of the U.S.

If correct, Open House, as I'm out of business for 24 hrs.

LFT 2nd Jun 2012 07:33

Quantico it is, well done.

As twochai says, Open House.

olympus 2nd Jun 2012 21:23

Sorry sabredog, not Cologne.

Lordflasheart 2nd Jun 2012 21:41

"over kill.....or before smart bombs (or aimers)...."

Im Gegenteil Herr Golfstromflieger - a nicely spaced and very effective airfield denial. :) LFH

olympus 2nd Jun 2012 22:29

The series of photos of which this is one (taken by a PRU aircraft) showed 800 craters on the airfield.

sabredog 3rd Jun 2012 07:07

Volkel Airfield,Netherlands.

Noyade 3rd Jun 2012 08:17


Volkel Airfield,Netherlands.
Rather amazingly for me, I can confirm that. :ok:

Lordflasheart 3rd Jun 2012 08:58

And just to tie these together, this is how Volkel was "hammered back into shape" by Noyade and Sabredog last August - Which Aerodrome Mk III page 3, Post 48.

So don't be shy fellows - Which of you two handsome guys is operating the Trench Rammer ? :) LFH

Noyade 3rd Jun 2012 08:59

Never smoked in my life - that must be Sabredog. :)

sabredog 3rd Jun 2012 09:22

Sorry,LFH, like Noyade I am also a non-smoker. Very stylish cap though, and a somewhat nonchalant attitude to his duties.

olympus 3rd Jun 2012 12:25

Sabredog has control!

sabredog 3rd Jun 2012 13:15

Thank you,Olympus.

Cows getting bigger 3rd Jun 2012 14:44

Open House gents.

olympus 3rd Jun 2012 16:19

Let's see if this one lasts any longer...

sabredog 3rd Jun 2012 22:23

Pleiku AFB,Vietnam?

olympus 4th Jun 2012 11:31

Sorry sabredog, not Pleiku. Right general area (SE Asia).

Duckbutt 4th Jun 2012 14:01

Ubon Royal Thai Air Force Base?

olympus 4th Jun 2012 14:34

Correct Duckbutt. Ubon it is.

YHC.

Duckbutt 4th Jun 2012 14:55

Thanks.

Duckbutt 5th Jun 2012 12:37

This aerodrome was only used for a couple of years when pilots went to school here.

If it helps throw some light and narrow it down, these days a railway runs across the location.

sabredog 5th Jun 2012 16:08

R.F.C. Dymchurch (Palmarsh). N01.Aux. School of Aerial Gunnery,1917.
RHD Railway.

Duckbutt 5th Jun 2012 18:34

Orl korrect Sabredog. Your turn.

sabredog 5th Jun 2012 19:03

Thank you,DB. A good challenge.

Holmsley South or Stoney Cross?

Noyade 5th Jun 2012 21:48

Pure dumb luck mate, but a NZ forum member uses it as a "siggy"...
