As it is Open House.

This has been done before, but with a modern photo, these are a little more historical. Almost all the buildings shown here still exist.

The title on the source of the photo below is "A modern airport at ?"

Both photos taken in 1943

nvubu 11th Feb 2012 08:57

Accra ? looking south. current runway 21 would be on left of pic. OH if possibly correct - but I'm working on somefink. LFH

nvubu 12th Feb 2012 08:35

LFH - you are correct, Accra, Gold Coast - as it was then.

I guess too much is the same for you to have been mislead with the the stars and stripes and the vehicles driving on the correct side of the road in the modern airport image:ok:

For those interested, here is the unedited source image of the 1st photo.

The following interesting image is described as "Near Accra air base a familiar pattern for approaching pilots is formed by these huts for native troops across from the British hospital barracks. The four small huts behind the buildings are shower stalls"

It is, Olympus. OH then.

nvubu 14th Feb 2012 18:32

To keep it moving, try this easy one.

It has been done before, but with a very modern photo.

Ascension Island?
Open house if correct.

nvubu 14th Feb 2012 22:01

Correct - Wideawake on Ascension Island. Thought it wouldn't last long.

Not sure if I would like to be in the aircraft behind the one taking off or landing.

Open House once again

I'IGN HD-34 at Reggane Airport Algeria ?

Lordflasheart 15th Feb 2012 08:39

HD-34 (of the IGN ?) suggests it's French North African territory somewheres - after that ........ Is that a row of parked aircraft in the top left distance with the Atlas mountains behind. Distinct lack of activity at lunchtime ! And not a Tricouleur in sight.

Hippo - Re Accra - it wasn't the Stars & Stripes that gave it away (not enough screen resolution here) it was the Pith Helmets. LFH
