Sorry Dook, Just west of Ourches-sur-Meuse, Frankrijk 50 km west of Vavincourt just follow the Maas/La Meuse upstream. SLB |
Blame the guys who took the photos :)
The Google one was almost pointing north. Here's the original montage to prove SLB is correct with Ourches - click here for a larger version https://o1blhq.bn.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none |
Thanks nvubu,
The very green grassy booth shape was the pointer. Only a small band North south above the Meuse has those fresh colours. Again sorry dook, I could no longer stand it, seeing you wandering around. Next challenge to support the paragon conversation on this thread. I need the names of both islands. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....aa2925bf36.jpg SLB |
Back in the Pacific....?
|
I’m thinking Pacific as well but not atolls. Further north, perhaps near Japan. |
No pacific Actually not a quiet area at all. Dook: orientated East up SLB |
South China Sea perhaps
|
You are off by about a full hemisphere. The clue is in the thread SLB |
....paragon conversation.... getting interesting!
Not Pacific Ocean (which doesn't discount Indian etc). Good vegetation coverage so probably temperate/tropical. Tortuous outline for an island. Remote enough to merit a runway but not populated/remote enough to merit paving it. Unpaved runway = light aircraft so probably not far from mainland. Google Earth image doesn't show shallow water around, which is why I said earlier not likely atoll. |
Boystown Fly-in Ranch, Prudence Island, Rhode Island, U.S.A. Adjacent is Patience Island. Proximity of Providence. Due diligence.
|
A paragon of prudence and patience? |
The Paragon virtue of patience (and prudence). Not so long ago valued on this thread by Jensdad and Asturias. Shamelessly from wiki There is an old colonial school poem: "Patience, Prudence, Hope, and Despair. And the little Hog over there." (all islands in that bay) Evansb is correct and has control. SLB |
Thank you SLB. Here is the next mystery aerodrome:

Martin Marauder factory ?
|
No, it is not the Martin factory aerodrome in Maryland.
|
I may be wrong but I think they are Grumman aircraft in the background so Savanna?
|
Sorry, not Grumman's plant. Not Savanna, nor Long Island, NY. Sadly, the factory buildings were demolished years ago.
Oh, in case you are interested, the pilot landing the ULAC in the photo looks EXACTLY like me. Yes, there is aircraft debris off to my port side. Disturbing. Photos to follow. |
Ooops, my bad. The factory in the background did indeed produce Martin aircraft. My knee-jerk reaction was the Baltimore plant. Sorry.
|
Sun is going down here, so here is a give-away clue:

The Fairchild thickens the plot somewhat.
I thought it might be Hagerstown but it isn't. |
