Turkey maybe.

JENKINS 17th Jan 2019 20:29

Delighted to state not Turkey. My first visit, to family home nearby, 1963 by DH106, final departure 767 in 1993. In the interim, in the local area, HP67, B101, Type 175, HS780, VC10, C130, BN2T. I think that is it. Please note that so far I am dealing solely with the negatives. Five airfields involved.

Does it get cold in the winter there ?

JENKINS 17th Jan 2019 20:40

Current temperature locally 4 to 7. I have seen snow.

JENKINS 17th Jan 2019 20:43

Now for positives. Yes to Eastern Med., I am sure that my next positive answer may not be necessary.

JENKINS 17th Jan 2019 20:46

Of course, yes to Cyprus sorry you were last Chev.

Are we close to the Cyprus buffer zone ?

JENKINS 17th Jan 2019 21:33

Looking at map, response soon.

Auxtank 17th Jan 2019 21:37

Kingsfield?

jensdad 17th Jan 2019 21:41

Doesn't look like Larnaca, Pafos, Nicosia or Akrotiri. So it must be Dhekelia?

JENKINS 17th Jan 2019 21:45

I fear that the only buffer zone with which I am familiar was in the 1963 dust--up when the Ledra Palace Hotel in Nicosia became unavailable due to the division of hat city. Will it help if I state that village names close to this strip represent both sides of the division? The operator of the strip appears to express impartiality.

JENKINS 17th Jan 2019 21:49

Jensdad wins with Dhekelia, where I kept my machine while operating at Kingsfueld. Sorry if a bit disjointed ce soir, water supply problems. House, not mine, and now fixed.

jensdad 17th Jan 2019 21:52

Thank you Jenkins, and to others who did all the hard work narrowing it down to Cyprus :)
Open House!

Auxtank 17th Jan 2019 21:54

Nice one Jenkins. Sorry about water shortage...well played in any case.

Auxtank 17th Jan 2019 22:01

Auxtank arrived home after his afternoon outing to find the Postman had delivered new ring-bound updated info.

So for a change a new angle on things...

I've Blurred the pertinent info but left the essentials.

And this is what a thoroughly unstabalised final looks like in to 27

Back zulu UK in the morning. Good night all.

La Rochelle Il-de-Ré. Open house if correct.

Alarmingly good TheiC

OH is called

TheiC 18th Jan 2019 07:19

...and the approach doesn't look too bad. A touch of right cyclic to regain the centreline, of course.

That's an understatement! :eek:

Obviously not a fast-jet man.
