Looking at the Vampire in the background and the 'O' code on the Provost, how about Ouston?
|
Ternhill ?
Ciarain. |
Hullavington?
|
No, sorry. None of those are correct.
|
Acklington ?
Ciarain. |
Well, I flew WW445/O-B several times at 6 FTS Ternhill in 1961 but I don't think it is there. The presence of the balloon winch etc makes me wonder if it is Abingdon. OH if I am correct.
|
Nobody is really very close so far.
A clue; another picture taken the same day. If no success with this I have a third pic which should give it away... http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...Airfield22.jpg |
A real stab in the dark- Biggin Hill.
Ciarain. |
Hm if that apparatus next to the Vulcan is something to do with RAFP or dog training, could it be Debden?
|
KK has it!
This is the other pic I was going to post; I think anyone familiar with Biggin would recognise it from this... http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...Airfield23.jpg You have control. |
Olympus,
Your third photo is obviously Biggin Hill. Anyone, open house . Ciarain. |
Well if no-one else wants a go, try this one:
http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/...PRuNe/009A.jpg Here are some clues: This is about the only thing left of this land based strip apart from some aircraft wreckage - more of this in a later clue. Prior to (and after) it's air links, this was a very important railway town (town might be a misnomer) - although strangely enough it has never seen a rail, coach, wagon or engine. The next clue will be a photo of something that can be seen from GE. |
whoops... pressed submit twice.
|
Africa...?
|
Yes ........
|
Vio, Kenya ?
C. |
Not sure if you mean vio. Should that be Voi?
|
It isn't Voi - the railway there runs alongside the airstrip, whereas the railway this town served was 120+ miles away as the crow flies - although it hasn't been there for almost 50 years.
I'll post the 2nd picture clue in the morning, |
As promised - here is something visible in GE
http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/...PRuNe/009B.jpg To give a little persepective to the above - the boat is visible in the shot below. http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/...PRuNe/009C.jpg |
Butiaba on Lake Albert, Uganda.....
OH if correct---tis my bed time.... |
