North Africa?

It's somewhere in Europe
|
The low countries or Germany ?

In you first photograph I'm intrigued by the head gear of some of the men on the truck.
Might they be Hungarian ? |
Not Hungarian
I noticed the head gear as well, but I think that they are just baseball caps with the brim turned upwards - rather than on back to front as is favoured nowadays. Off home from work shortly. Will post more images later on (I've got 6 more) |
I'm looking at maps of Europe from various years during the war.
Could it possibly be what was Yugoslavia ? |
So perhaps the island of Vis, where I believe the field was Vatni?
|
Well, I did think that would last a little longer - It is Vis, Jenkins has it.
Quite an interesting history, but abandoned after the war, In recent times, there have been attempts to reactivate the airstrip. GE has images of it freshly graded in 2013, now it seems to back to grass. Here are the other images, Some nice graffiti on the aircraft. https://pqpvsa.db.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://cqj9jq.db.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://blg4ya.db.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://opohpg.db.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none And for dook, some interesting head gear in these two. https://dm2lma.db.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://qefm0w.db.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none |
Good challenge and history lesson NVUBU. Following on JENKINS' guess I tried to find where the airfield might be. Amidst the vinyards above the town of Vis.

broadreach - zoom in on Pisko Polje.

I'm not going to use or say Yugoslavia again !
|
Thanks. Field had look of an emergency spot, and recent reading involved the 15th Air Force.
Now this. One visit, fuel stop on long westward transit. The country has been propping up Europe for some time.https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....7470377934.jpg |

If you mean propping up the Euro, then Switzerland has now stopped doing it.
|
I assume he means the USA
|
Well, he might mean defence but his clues are sometimes devious.
|
Not finance so no Euro. Numbers are involved, 1,3,17,18. Not USA
|
See what I mean ?
Too much Scottish amber liquid I'm afraid. |
