Actually yes, but the name is a bit of an annoyance to local pilots. It was totally political (aren't they all?) The original Bill Bishop airport is actually in Owen Sound:

whence the ace cameth.

Nobody calls it that on Tower, it is always "City centre" or "Island"

And you weren't fooled by the apparent disappearance of the antenna on the top of the CN Tower by haze?

You have the con!

chevvron 1st Jan 2019 17:42

Brooklands; the two bits of paved surface are parts of the old 'Mountain' circuit.

I worked at Bournmouth for almost twenty years and I don't believe it.

nvubu 1st Jan 2019 20:07

chevvron has it - Brooklands 2018 Fly In. Came across a YouTube video of it yesterday and thought that it would be a good challenge. Wasn't sure how much I should crop the images.

By co-incidence the film we were watching was "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines". Thought about mentioning it in my previous, but thought it might have been taken as a clue for Booker.

chevvron has control.
