Getting warm. The 100th is a common link.

Fairford ?

I used to hate the "running rabbit" strobes.

However, how about Lakenheath. (100th...…)

Well it sure doesn't look like Thorpe Abbotts!

Nope, nearly there. Does this help?

All is not what it seems. Away now for a few hours, but will check in later. Tally Ho

My first thought is of a film set.

North Weald ?

India Four Two 16th Feb 2019 21:03

What dook said, but South Cerney?

Shackman 16th Feb 2019 21:23

No

I'm standing next to a French Chateau

Bed time. Back tomorrow morning GMT

lauriebe 17th Feb 2019 00:12

Hawkinge perhaps?

oldpax 17th Feb 2019 01:46

Its Duxford! French chateau was a mock up on the far side of the airfield (Bof B movie)

Shackman 17th Feb 2019 08:00

Well done oldpax - 'twas indeed. If I had been standing there an hour earlier I would have had a starring role as the first person to be hit by a passing ME109 (remember the opening scenes!).
Over to you

oldpax 17th Feb 2019 09:49

OH as nothing to hand!Spent a day at Duxford as an extra for the Bof B film !!

Shackman 17th Feb 2019 10:18

LIkewise - a few of us came down from Oakington during night flying phase, which kept on being cancelled due to fog, and were 'co-opted' to appear in the background. It helped that some of the Varsity QFIs were flying in the film.

The 'French Chateau' looked very good from a distance, only close up did you see the wooden frame and painted canvas.
