Overheads are Silverstone, but the original photo isn't 'cos as far as I'm aware, Silverstone never had 'C' type hangars, so how about Waddington?

Silverstone it is.

The other photo appeared in this article about Silverstone, and I rather assumed it was Silverstone. However, all the suggestions kept going north rather than south, so I guess it isn't.

I've found an original source of this image here - still doesn't say where it is, although the caption below might help?

Apologies for what seems to be an incorrect posting, or at least my incorrect answers :ugh:

zetec2 has declared Open House.

Here is the next challenge:

Anyone got an answer to the challenge at #2268? I think we've established it's not Silverstone as the overheads show 5 Bellman/T2 hangars with max 2 together, whereas the photo shows 3 'C' types grouped together plus a Bellman/T2, or possibly a T1, plus a distinctive non standard 'watch office/control tower, the 'C' types being mostly built pre-war. As far as I can make out on my 10'' screen there appear to be several Hurris parked near the hangars.

I think the design of the tower is 5740/36 which was only allocated to 5 FTS airfields, RAF Shawbury being one of them. I'm also still intrigued by this one.

The original picture of 2268 is in the Hulton archieve of Getty images, it shows the entire frontage of the hangars plus some more buildings and a tall tower backed by rising woodland on the left end. Difficult to make out detail on my small screen.

If it is a 5740/36 tower the the options are Ternhill, Shawbury, Little Rissington, Hullavington & South Cerney.
All except Ternhill have the tower built in front of the hangar. Ternhill is the only one with the tower between two hangars and the difference in angle between the two hangars also seems to fit.

Flap40, I think you may be right. Certainly the hangar layout fits and I'm pretty sure the Tower is a 5740/36.

So that puts Hen Ddraig in the chair.

Thanks for solving that puzzle.

I've looked at it on Google Maps and it looks spot on for Ternhill when zoomed in positioned behind the windsock at the end of Warrant Road.

Away from home at the moment so its OH again

Here's one to keep the thread going

I know where this one is :ok:

Dounreay possibly? Aka HMS Tern II.


'b

Not Dounray - that isn't a coastline.

It's not the usual UK layout either. Looks more like continental Europe - France, Germany or perhaps even Soviet.

Wherever it is, someone is having a grim time of it down there...

nacluv - yes, it is one of those :D

Here's an photo from after the bombing:

I've replaced the first image as i have just noticed it had a "hand" cursor in the middle of it!

OK then, those earth banked revetments make me think 'Soviet'.

Too far east

After some further research, it seems that the current runway at this airfield was rebuilt on a different alignment than that during and after WWII.

Here is an intermediate image, taken while a shortened version of the original runway was present, with the new, and current runway in the process of being built.

And I have just discovered that there are two airfields in this image. Bonus points if you can name them both.

Schwabisch Flugplatz/Schwabisch Hall ,later Camp Dolan / Dolan Barracks, US Army Airfield.
Second airfield,possibly Weckrieden.

Sorry about the delay in responding - SD has them both in one.

Here's where I discovered the 2nd airfield - which is on the left hand side of the photo.

You have control SD.

Marvellous. Adolf Wurth Flugplatz. There's even a li'l flivver sitting on the ramp at grass strip Weckrieden, in the GE Year 2000 imagery. I had a cheap shot to offer but photobucket won't let me in this evening. After the weekend maybe, LFH

OH, so have a go at this ---

Correct - so that should take around 30 seconds!

Inyo County Airrport / Manzanar Airport, Manzanar, CA
