Gosfield and Wattisham are 292 ft AMSL but neither fit the picture.

Actually Jenkins, it is Williamtown. Williamstown is a suburb of Melbourne. Confusing, I know...

TheiC 16th Jan 2019 08:09

That’s Chilbolton.

dook 16th Jan 2019 08:17

I will confirm that winner.

Auxtank 16th Jan 2019 08:25

Well done to TheiC - 'tis RAF Chilbolton indeed.

TheiC - you have control.

Many thanks...

I'll do my best to respond promptly to any queries and suggestions...

Sutton Bridge, Lincolnshire? An addition of thanks to Dora-9 for nudge on Melbourne. Fine city, oldest school chum there, in Malvern having left Malvern UK in 1967.

Maybe Oirland.

Yep, I'll take a stab at that. Poolbeg chimneys from Dublin Airport (remote corner of)

dook 16th Jan 2019 10:32

The only problem is that I can't find an airstrip/field around there except Baldonnell and it isn't that.

dook 16th Jan 2019 10:51

Auxtank,

Viewed from Dublin airport the two chimneys are almost in line.

Auxtank 16th Jan 2019 10:55

Indeed. Hummm...

TheiC 16th Jan 2019 11:01

Not the Emerald Isle, I'm afraid, though another place nearby regularly hosts visitors from there, nor Lincolnshire, on which I might comment further later on.

...another place nearby regularly hosts visitors from there
Might those visitors be animals ?

TheiC 16th Jan 2019 11:31

No. Strictly speaking, they are mineral (but do tell us why you ask..?).

dook 16th Jan 2019 11:37

I was thinking racehorses.

Now I'm wondering how visitors can be mineral.

TheiC 16th Jan 2019 11:47

Strictly speaking, my dictionary confirms that I'm using the word outside its usual meaning, but only as others here do, especially the unlicensed.

dook 16th Jan 2019 11:55

As in fizzy drinks ?

TheiC 16th Jan 2019 12:42

I’m afraid not. They walk amongst us here, though often returning to the Balcony.

Auxtank 16th Jan 2019 12:46

This challenge has taken a decidedly surreal angle.

TheiC - are we in England?
