Maybe it had something to do with the "constitutional coup".

Seems to have been AST#5
Aerial Survey Team #5

Thar be gliders :ok:

Not sure whether it is for D-Day or Market Garden though.

dook 13th Feb 2019 17:50

D-Day...……...

That looks like a UK airfield. Could it be the 09 threshold (pre-extension) at Lulsgate?

ea200 13th Feb 2019 18:04

I'll take a stab at Tarrant Rushton.

dook 13th Feb 2019 18:25

ea200 takes the biscuit with Tarrant Rushton.

ea200 13th Feb 2019 22:41

Thanks dook. Nothing to hand and off to bed so OH.

After some of the great images recently, you might like a breather with this one.

nvubu 14th Feb 2019 07:53

Doesn't look UK, but the square by the control tower reminds me of UK, so I'd go for Commonwealth country - one of Australia, Canada, New Zealand or South Africa?

kaikohe76 14th Feb 2019 08:46

Yes nvubu, you are in the correct ball park with your idea. Cheers.

dook 14th Feb 2019 08:50

Good thinking nvubu.

I'll start with Australia.

kaikohe76 14th Feb 2019 09:00

It`s not Auz Dook, but your on the right track.

dook 14th Feb 2019 09:05

Good pointer.

NZ ?

chimbu warrior 14th Feb 2019 09:11

How about Whenuapai (NZWP)?

kaikohe76 14th Feb 2019 09:29

It is NZ Dook. It`s not Whenuapai chimbu warrior, but I can well see why you might suggest it.
It`s getting a bit dark in my part of the Commonwealth now Gents, so bed time it is until 1900 or so. If anyone gets it right before then, rather than delay any more image posts, if you are all happy, you might like to continue on.

I have just searched "new Zealand old airports aerial" and on the second line down is an aerial view of Old Canterbury Harewood.

nvubu 14th Feb 2019 11:40

Looks bang on dook - there's a blog spot page showing the changes over time. (this website doesn't allow a link to blog spot or even the full word entered :( )

dook 14th Feb 2019 13:52

Is anyone else happy that Harewood is correct ?
