Yes to my joker, Jenkins. Delaware is the first, I thought Wyoming is 44 and name originated at Wyoming in Delaware. Sorry if wrong with 44. Delaware name originated with a titled Englishman from an estate not too far from chez moi. There is a local peach festival, reminiscent perhaps of Groundhog Day.

OH declared.

I was on completely the wrong tack. Nice clues JENKINS.

I've found a video that shows what is going on at Jenkins airport:

How sad, especially for those in Europe whose grounding was North Sea Aztecs. Proximity to Dover not missed.

try this - not in the USA

Don't know the name of the airfield but that radar could be Burrington, Devon.

Asturias56 28th Dec 2018 16:26

Burrington/Eaglescott doesn't have a paved runway - the challenge does... and whilst the challenge is in a pleasant place it is not as green and verdant as Devon......

dook 28th Dec 2018 18:14

But is it in the UK ?

nvubu 28th Dec 2018 19:21

Don't think it's the UK - Spain or Italy?

Asturias56 29th Dec 2018 08:50

Spain or Italy is correct.......... once Capital of a great Empire - for a while anyay..... tho not many people know that......

Might have expected some more exotic racing machines such as MV,Ducati,Aermacchi,or even Ferrari ...not many airfields near Ferrara,but` Gastone Novelli` suits at Ravenna......
OH if correct....

Asturias56 29th Dec 2018 10:31

Ravenna it is - a nice small spot rather over provided with facilities TBH but just down the road ... a delightful city to visit for those who don't know it....https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....c191ad9b3b.jpg

Similar colours to your Carnarvon challenge.

Next to the spoil heap of a mine of some sort.

Imagegear 30th Dec 2018 08:59

I have flown over and into a lot of the East and West Rand strips and I don't recognise it. I thought it might be a "Plats" mine, but the pumped spoil heap suggests Gold and still in use unless operations curtailed..

Possibly the Northern Free State ?

IG

dook 30th Dec 2018 09:00

A diamond mine which has never given large yields.

Not the Northern Free State.
