Are they all called "Jakee"
|
All photos bar the first one were taken in September 1945.
|
Google Earth doesn't show a little aeroplane thingy for this - still an active military base.
|
Japan....?
and a Sunderland in #10444 |
No, that's a Martin Mariner.
Are we near Nagasaki ? |
Definitely Japan.
Nowhere near Nagasaki - almost at the opposite end. Am not going to be near a computer for a few hours. |
Ominato? Must do some more looking.
|
At last, Jenkins is correct, it is Ominato - on the Mutsu Bay.
You now have control. |
Thanks. I had been looking at Dutch East Indies immediately post WW2; that is, until the Japan outline hovehttps://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....0c1e713c29.jpg
into view. Even then I was looking at Air Sea Rescue close to Okinawa. This spot turned up quite by chance, apologies for 'sandbagging' the work of others. Quite an impressive history. Now this. A documented strip, I landed there when one of the two roads was extant and the other but a Transport Ministers dream. Great Britain, and an AA Roadbook would be a help. |
Marples & M1 ?
|
Banbury (Shotteswell)
|
Not Marples, Norman Fowler I think. M40, nice surface.
Yes to Shotteswell, useful in days past but for my own part I am now unconvinced of the perscipacity of those who paid me, a touch smelly I fear. Often seen in military low level flying. All yours, 84 to 208(?). |
Thanks, Jenkins. Not 208 - just 200 too high.
Off to bed; new challenge in the morning. |

With apologies for the overnight wait, here is the next: |
8 or 208
Apologies, I hope that the (?) Indicated my uncertainty.
|
Jenkins: no problem! I was there 1969-70, when 84 were at Sharjah with Andovers. Was that your era?
|
England I'd guess???
|
Yes, England
|
Trying to narrow it down.
East Anglia ? |
Not East Anglia - further North
A slow day today; everybody out Christmas shopping? |
