Might be a quiet day.

Any non-regulars around ?

The abiding theme was "He departed Gander on (insert date) bound for (insert European destination) and was never seen again...…………………….."

Perhaps too ominous for nervous passengers about to cross the Atlantic. The last time I stopped there, about 1991, the terminal had recently been redeveloped and the photos had gone. I do hope they have been preserved somewhere appropriate.

You mean the Atlantic Wings Collection as till 2001?
It has been moved.

SLB:

My memory is just of a collection of photos, not the other exhibits that your link shows, and it had gone from where I saw it at YQX well before 2001.

If Open House is declared, regular posters should not jump in immediately, but time should be given for those who are not great at naming the correct location as they may have some good images.
Does anyone feel we should remove this from "the rules " ?

No, not at all, keep it as it is.
Please note that this rule is not bound by the 2x24 hours.
So 4,5 hrs of Jenkins can be enough.

As OH has been called quite much lately, then I think the waiting time can be taken shorter.
There have been plenty of opportunities to jump on the wagon at any time of day.

If we have had a long string of non OH we must remember this rule.

(just my opinion)

So go Ahead if you have any ready.

The problem is that no timescale is stated.

It seems that "non-regulars" by definition hardly ever post anyway.

I do have some ready but...…..

OK - standby...…

Luton Airport?
I was gonna suggest Rearsby due to the number of high wing types visible but I don't think it is.

Marrakech...had a near-death experience there,`bushy-topped trees` are really just `bushy-topped bushes` in the desert..

Deffo Luton...learned to fly there courtesy of the lovely Elizabeth O....!!

Luton it is.

Top banana for chevvron.

chevvron 12th Mar 2019 10:46

Open house again.
Suppose I should have said 'not the original Luton Airport' ie Barton.

I think I can give the clue that by the looks of the flags, it is an international airport.

Is that two Danish flags on the right. Trees on a hill in the background with Nordic looking house.
How about Copenhagen?

oldandbald 12th Mar 2019 15:22

It isTHE Luton Airport not Barton. Old Farmhouse/ Directors House/ then Freds Bar in the middle

sorry not Belgium either

That building in the Left background looks familiar. I'm sure I've seen it in another historical photo somewhere. Could it be Budapest Ferihegy?
