My wife is - I've taken her to the airport to go shopping in Krakow!

Are we in bomber country ?

If you mean Lincolnshire, no.

Keep trudging north - Yorkshire lad ?

JENKINS 7th Dec 2018 14:17

A Thor site, Catfoss?

dook 7th Dec 2018 14:27

Ah well...….

Jenkins has it. A slightly odd field, opened 1932 as a base for gunnery on the nearby Cowden range. Closed just after WW2, then a Thor base 1959-63.

JENKINS 7th Dec 2018 15:12

Thank you. Thor Site dispersals still evident, Project Emily I gather. Some I know, so didn't take long.

Let's go travelling again. Pretty cold here, I suppose work in the salt mines would keep one warm. For dook, not the Krackow salt mines. Snowing, but the airport was open 30 minutes ago.https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....583a7affa6.jpg

She landed at 1402Z.

Off to Auschwitz–Birkenau with offspring tomorrow.

Just wondering if your weather comment means we're in eastern Europe.

JENKINS 7th Dec 2018 15:47

Not Eastern Europe.

dook 7th Dec 2018 15:58

USA or Canada maybe.

JENKINS 7th Dec 2018 16:03

Correct so far.

Asturias56 7th Dec 2018 16:03

The linear features in the top right look like old river banks - the main Russian rivers in Siberia have a zillion square miles of them (check GEarth) but this is USA/Canada

Can't see many trees so further north I guess? N Canada or Alaska......

I've been looking around Ontario but nothing yet.

Asturias56 7th Dec 2018 16:12

Hay River Great Slave Lake???

JENKINS 7th Dec 2018 16:15

Not Ontario, nor is it at The Great Slave. Certainly not Russia, which is a shame since I had sought to distract the searchers.

Michigan ?....

JENKINS 7th Dec 2018 16:46

Not Michigan. The Province is strange, since there are two closer to which, perhaps, this spot should belong. It may help by referring to its Oxonian rather than Cantabridgian spelling.

dook 7th Dec 2018 16:48

Since you say province and not state I assume Canada.

JENKINS 7th Dec 2018 16:56

Assumption correct.
