Big B25 raid on Rabaul from Dobodura.

Here's the second runway being bombed

edit to add. Get away from Rabaul as it isn't there.

I've looked at Gasmata but can only see one runway.

It isn't Gasmata.
You will have to look very closely to see one runway. The other one has returned to bush - and to make it even harder it isn't where GE thinks it is :ok:

There were two runways at Cape Gloucester.

dook does all the hard work, and Jenkins jumps in with the answer.
Cape Gloucester it is. Here is the give away shot (this has been published elsewhere on the net, hence why I didn't post it.

You can still recognise the outline of the E/W runway and surrounds now, but I originally thought it was a bit daft that GE was showing the airport/airport symbols. Turns out that it still is an airfield with an IATA code of CGC, and according to airports-list.com has a 1079m runway! If you zoom in on GE, there is an aircraft on it, but I doubt it has a 1000+m runway any more.

Over to you Jenkins, and commiserations to dook.

Thanks. Some of my inspiration comes from Canberra, but I won't state exactly where. Really interesting search. Now for a joker, within which peaches may be involved. Haven't landed there, but it looks my sort of strip.https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....2c6819a8fe.jpg

Northern France?

Are they dismantling aircraft/gliders there?

Not Northern France. Unsure of work in junk yard.

Somewhere in France?

Not in France.

How about Denmark?

Some numbers which should ease the task. The field lies in the first, close by is that which begat 44. Goodnight to Europe, and perhaps good morning to those watching excellent cricket in Christchurch.

We crossed, no to Hamlet and Elsinore.

Interesting clues JENKINS. The chalky soil and the yellow road-centre lines had already led me to Kansas and your "begat 44" clue leads me to the Wichita area. I'm still working on "lies in the first".

Somewhere in New Zealand?

Quickly harking back to Cape Gloucester, I think you will find it is an overflying aircraft. A swept wing aircraft would have performance difficulties operating at what's left of the strip.

I did wonder that - but an extraordinary coincidence :ok:

Jenkins is correct, I think. Jenkins Airport, Wyoming, Delaware. If correct, open house.
