OK - nite nite.

No it doesn't; Dunsfold is still in use until at least the end of June this year (last airshow there 16 - 18 June)

Back from coffee-housing in my local village, on a main trunk road, chaos, try this with a 'story' which came from an interesting exchange. Cold War, pictures of each side now freely available, this airfield in an area which I gather featured strongly but silently in said non-conflict. Passed by on many occasions but never landed.

Civilian.....?

Is that a single digit on the runway? If so, west coast North America

Or maybe a European NATO country.

Yes, Visby. I gather that Sweden was kept busy, in its neutrality, by Cold War participants lurking around its Baltic ( exchange ) islands. Munich to Helsinki took me past there on many occasions, invariably late, and with the bar empty from top of climb.

All yours.

I have digged out a book from the heritage of my grandfather and scanned some photo's.

I remember that when my family stayed in the big house of my grandparents during the summer vacation I was always happy to go to bed!
I took the book from the shelve and read breathless about the heroic pilots between both wars.

I could not find the photo on the web by image search.
But character recognition on the 5 chaps in the foreground might be possible?

Succes SLB

Africa somewhere ?

Perhaps Suva, Fiji?

Jodhpur it is,
Airfield built/paid by the Maradjha of Jodhpur.
From Google I conclude the same airfield is still being used but is now in the middle of the city.

This hangar is visible on RAF photos of 1946 on Internet.

The airport is not on the photo and is more south (to the right)

Dook,
What was your clue?
You have control

thanks Chevvron

I don't visit the UK often -- and I haven't been to Dunsfold -- but I have an interest in the history of the Harrier so that's the context in which I knew of Dunsfold. I was told (erroneously it now seems) that Dunsold was no longer an operational aerodrome. We learn something new every day...

That looks like a BIG operation...

Maybe Norfolk NAS Virginia???

It wasn't military.
