RAF Baghdad aka RAF Hinaidi aka RAF Hinaida

It sure is RAF Hinaida - near Baghdad - vacated by the RAF in 1941 - renamed Rashid Airfield in honour of Iraqui PM and then used against the RAF

Thank you. Here is the next mystery aerodrome:

PNW?
..and a few words |
Stanley airfield, Nova Scotia...I think. Has been many years since I was out that way...
OH if correct. |
Gordy is correct. Stanley, Nova Scotia was a BCATP aerodrome of yore.
The airfield hosts Canada's largest annual fly-in. As requested, it is OPEN HOUSE. |
Lets see how you do with this aerodrome
http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/...PRuNe/017A.jpg Let me know if you want or need a photo outside :ok: |
I'll take a stab at Woodvale (or somewhere very like it!).
|
Not RAF Woodvale, and not in the UK
|
Well, I did say a stab... So, those aren't sand dunes of the type we're familiar with here, then...
Cue the experts, who will work it out from the type of 'Aldis' lamp (using name generically, before someone points out that it's not one!). |
No sand dunes anywhere I can see, although those might well be some sort of palm trees out of the left hand window on the far side of the runway.
|
Judjing by the tea chest architecture: Nanyuki (or Nyeri) 1951?
|
Not Kenya, or Africa.
1943 - same year it was completed |
|
Timezone is UTC-5. Time of the first photo is shown here.
http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/...uNe/017A-2.jpg The 2nd photo (10 days after the 1st one) looks to be around the same time - or an hour or so earlier. Photos taken in December 1943, 2nd one looking east. |
B-25's in the photo?
|
Atterbury-Bakalar airfield, Indiana ?
|
Not in the USA, but it is in country that was allied to the USA, and the airfield was named after the President of that Country - but it isn't named that now.
Used for Anti-submarine patrols and as a training airfield for B29s. At the end of the war the US withdrew and handed the facility over the host government. I was wrong in one of my previous posts - it was built in 1942 not 1943. |
San Antonio de los Baņos Airfield,Cuba.
