Not East Africa. Are you becoming a burnt out case? Do keep looking,

Crossed with Sycamore. It is Lungi, across the river mouth from Freetown. My aircraft was at Hastings, hotel at Aberdeen. Clues were in the awkwardly placed titles of Graham Greene novels, for Freetown figured significantly in his WW2 service in Intelligence.

OH declared by Sycamore, who I believe has Hastings aircraft time in his logbook.

"Are you becoming a burnt out case?"

No. I'm very busy doing some highly technical drawings on computer for a forthcoming aviation technical manual.

I'll have shot for a change.

I'll have a punt at Donibristle, now the dormitory town of Dalgety Bay in Fife.

dook 30th Jan 2019 20:50

And what a corking punt that is.

The thread is yours.

Flap40 30th Jan 2019 21:03

Thanks. A bit of local knowledge as i only live 2 miles away. There is still a small area of the runway surviving.

OH.

Looks like a B-24. That doesn't narrow down the location very much!

Asturias56 31st Jan 2019 08:49

My book on WW2 bombers has a couple of similar striking night time picture of B24's at Willow Run Factory in Michigan.....................

RAF Harrington?

nvubu 31st Jan 2019 11:42

Sorry about the delay in replying - work got in the way :)

Thought this would be a good image to start with.

It isn't at the Willow Run Factory in Michigan or at RAF Harrington.

Another image - during the day this time.
