A bit of a fraught atmosphere on WAMkIII these days. Anyway, could the latest challenge be Thurleigh? I once saw some publicity pics that BOAC did with one of their first 747s there.

We'll I thought that would be a hard one to get from that image, and I has quite a few more pictures for it.

Dulles it is. SLB has control.

Apologies,
I indeed forgot to add “if correct”
I knew i was to sleep late this morning so did not wanted to keep everybody waiting.
My sight is about as hazy as the next challenge.
Specsavers?
Pearl?
Or less cognac?

Correct? Ooh wauw!!
When googling for images “hazy airports”
I got the result of
Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center
Just posting out of fun!

I am afraid Open House again.

Early Thursday morning. I'm actually quite surprised this 80+ year old airfield hasn't appeared on The List yet.

Er Gatwick? (OH if correct)

Cows getting bigger 16th Feb 2019 13:10

Nope, not Gatport Airwick. :)

If I see PAPIs, it's somewhat unusual to have them on both sides of the runway is it not ?

Cows getting bigger 16th Feb 2019 13:28

You do see PAPIs on both side. That's not too unusual.

dook 16th Feb 2019 13:33

I'm obviously getting out of touch these days then.

Are we outside the UK ?

minuteman 16th Feb 2019 15:23

I’d hazard a guess at Shannon?....but on closer inspection I’d say not!

Cows getting bigger 16th Feb 2019 16:25

Not Shannon. I think we're in the UK, hence my "I can't believe it" as far as the wiki list is concerned.. :)

dook 16th Feb 2019 17:17

I thought it might be Stansted but that isn't 80+ years old.

broadreach 16th Feb 2019 17:23

Could that be Prestwick? The only clue, really, is what looks like a hangar off to port.

dook 16th Feb 2019 17:28

I also thought that a possibility but I think it only has PAPIs on one side.

The last time I landed there was 1984 !!

dook 16th Feb 2019 17:36

Lorraine Chase and Luton ?

Newquay?
(since 1933)

Bournemouth perhaps

Cows getting bigger 16th Feb 2019 17:53

Nope, none of those. Look closely and you may be able to identify aircraft types. The Americans may have spent some time here......

Shackman 16th Feb 2019 18:17

Sort of looks like Mildenhall - but I was blinded by all the lights on my last approach there.
