Henderson Field, Guadalcanal........long range snap shot. In the unlikely event that it’s correct, OH. Season’s greetings to All. :O

It isn't Henderson Field.

Are we in Burma ?

nvubu 27th Dec 2018 10:37

We are not in Burma. Sid is closer than you are.

dook 27th Dec 2018 11:10

East towards Papua New Guinea maybe.

nvubu 27th Dec 2018 11:20

Bit further than "towards" PNG

Not yet a US base.

So Guadalcanal is closer than my first shot with Burma.

I'll try the Marianas then.

nvubu 27th Dec 2018 12:03

Sid is still closer.
It is on an Island though - you can see the coastline.

It isn't Dobodura, you are closer than Sid or dook.

New Britain maybe, but it's part of PNG.

nvubu 27th Dec 2018 13:09

You are now on the right Island.
Few posts ago you said "East towards Papua New Guinea" which implies between Burma and PNG - hence why I replied "Bit further than "towards" PNG" :)

Ah - now I understand your comment.

Kerevat ?

nvubu 27th Dec 2018 13:15

The only Kerevat I can see on GE isn't on the coast.

nvubu 27th Dec 2018 13:19

There were two runways

One is obvious here, you can just see the end of the second one at about 3 o'clock on this image.

Maybe Lakunai then.

nvubu 27th Dec 2018 13:29

Nope. Not Laukunai

dook 27th Dec 2018 13:35

Rapopo is on the coast.

err....only one runway it seems.

nvubu 27th Dec 2018 13:41

Yes it is, but this airfield isn't at Rapopo, and the images I've posted are not part of any action around Rabaul.

Here's what it looked like after the Japanese had been driven out and the airfield had been reconfigured by the US forces. If you look closely at the image, I think you can see the control tower from my first picture.
