With all those C54s (which entered service c'45/'46) it looks like Berlin during the airlift but which airport? Templehof maybe?

Atsugi, Japan ?

Not a bad guess but not correct. You are however in the right general area (East Anglia).

Great Massingham.

Ciarain.

I'll have a bash at Chedburgh

chevvron 23rd Jan 2012 22:37

Looks like Membury but you said it's East Anglia which Membury ain't.

olympus 23rd Jan 2012 22:50

Not Great Massingham, Chedburgh or Membury

Those trees remind me of Waterbeach

nvubu 24th Jan 2012 07:39

How about Hardwick?

Sorry I've been off-line for a while; been worrying about a sick dog all morning.

Time for a clue; this memorial is in the village churchyard and will probably give it away...

Trust that all is well with your dog.
Horham Airfield.
95th Bomb Group.
If correct; Open House.

nvubu 24th Jan 2012 13:53

Thanks for the clue - Horham.

edit - beaten to it.... damn :)

olympus 24th Jan 2012 15:06

Horham it is. Open House declared.

olympus - That was an enjoyable, if frustrating, search.

As it is Open House (and I was close), here is another type of aerodrome.

The date is late 1921 or 1922 - although I'm not sure if that will be of any assistance.

I 'll take a guess - royal navy airstation Newhaven ?

nvubu 25th Jan 2012 17:40

Sorry descol, it isn't Newhaven, or anywhere else in the UK.
