Yes, you are correct with that assumption :ok:

Some more of those hangars

Looks like a `Spad` on the right and RE8s on the left... Joint airfield...?.

nvubu 19th Feb 2019 21:34

Just American as far as I'm aware.

nvubu the first photo in your challenge is so reminiscent of the view to left or right of the A303 just west of Amesbury. If pigs could fly....

nvubu 19th Feb 2019 22:35

Here's a view that contains the first image - and here's a link to a much larger version of he first image - clicky

And here's the same view in Google Earth

More in the morning.

All quiet on the overnight front

Morning all.

Are we west of Tours ?

nvubu 20th Feb 2019 10:15

No, we are towards the east

dook 20th Feb 2019 10:40

I was afraid you would say that.

Perhaps it's not too far from your last one.

dook 20th Feb 2019 10:52

There were several airfields around the Longuyon area. Am I getting closer ?

nvubu 20th Feb 2019 11:35

You are getting closer, but I suppose it depends what you mean by "around"?

You are within 100 miles of this location - that doesn't necessarily mean it is 100 miles away :)

dook 20th Feb 2019 12:05

I have looked on GE around Cuperly, Vavincourt, Perthes and Colombey areas and cannot find your GE image.

Continuing…..

nvubu 20th Feb 2019 12:10

One of the areas you named is nearer than the others :)

The distances away (in miles) are approx - 24, 50, 62 & 80 (this is closest to furthest away - not necessarily the order you listed them in) Although there do seem to be a lot of places with Perthes in the name.

Does this composite aerial help?

I think we are in Lorraine somewhere and that Columbey is my closest shot and the river is the Meuse.

nvubu 20th Feb 2019 14:26

Columbey of the two churches isn't the closest of your four, but you are correct in that it is the Meuse

dook 20th Feb 2019 14:50

Then I am thinking I should look NW-ish of Verdun and that Cuperly is the closest.

nvubu 20th Feb 2019 15:50

You'll be wrong on both points.

dook 20th Feb 2019 17:41

Near Belrain ?

nvubu 20th Feb 2019 18:02

If I go to Bing Maps, it's a 52 minute drive away from Belrain.

dook 20th Feb 2019 18:27

The only place left on my list is Charny-sur-Meuse, but the Meuse routing doesn't fit and you said not to go NW of Verdun.
