While someone comes up with a proper challenge, can I invite the cognsocenti to try to identify the aerodrome (and perhaps the specific aircraft) which appears a few times, most notably starting at 4:00 minutes, in this rather lovely music video..?

LTN with Britannia Brit:confused:

I would concur that it's a Britannia aircraft but know no more. Here's another airfield:

With regard to my query above, I'm thinking it might be Newcastle (EGNT)... However, the large mound or building in the distance is confusing...

Anyone else able to pitch in to help?

Most definitely Newcastle, looking East from the terminal.

If it helps I can confirm that the location of my challenge is some distance away from Newcastle!

confused by the long straight canal so close to the airport
 

I am so stupid......too much funny water....glf

John Deere Dubuque Works Airport ,Iowa. U.S.A.

That took you much longer than usual SD!

Thank you,Duckbutt. It was but a mere courtesy.

I think this has been done before...

Greenland perhaps? Kangerlussuaq.

I believe that's the place mate. I have it as Sondrestrom Air Base and couldn't see it on Mel's list, but a little googling says they're the same place?

Your control aerobelly. :ok:

Oh rats!

Oops, sorry. Thank you Noyade.

That was a complete guess based on how long I thought the North Pole routes would take.



This is an airfield that is still live, but the clues are not aircraft:

Sorry about the page furniture again.

Hethel, Norfolk. Home of Lotus. I think?

Hethel, quite correct. Home of Lotus since 1966. Although the identifiable car body was made by Bristol (at Filton?).

Whooo that didn't last long! jindabyne has control

Thanks aero - the car gave it away.

Not in America, Australia or Xkxkzstan:

Looks a bit like a early image of Oxford - Kidlington

brgds

W.G

Not Oxford (nowhere near London) Kidlington, I'm afraid.

Correct country though.

Newton or Kirton - in - Lindsey?
Edit delete Newton add Middle Wallop.

Leeming...?

Swanton Morley ?

Neither Kirton Lindsey-in-Lindsey, Leeming, Middle Wallop, Newton, Spitalgate nor Swanton Morley.....:hmm:

Pershore..?

Neither is it P'shaw........

OK sabredog.....time to tell us where it is.

Is it now an Army barracks? (Bramcote)

Not RAF Bramcote - or whatever the Pongos call it.

Yes why DO the pongos HAVE to ruin airfields when they take them over? Look at Catterick; houses almost on the edge of the runway; Abingdon; a tall fence on the inside edge of the peri track.
But that's not important right now so how about Chipping Warden?

Neither RAF Chipping Warden, RAF Chipping Norton nor RAF Chipping Ongar!

Good grief, it's obvious. Come on chaps!

Neither is it RAF Obvious................;)

So you're saying it's an RNAS?

Having said the above, I found Lichfield has the correct layout of hangars but the internal roads are different; this could be post war 'mods' however.

Nope, jinda' claimed it was 'obvious' and simply said that there was no station by that name! Whether RAF or FAA....

Neither is it RAF Lichfield.

I'll post another photo when Photobucket has been fixed - it's failing to upload yet again (as reported by others too...)....:mad:

Come on then jindabyne, put us out of our misery!

As BEags said, I was wrong!

Here's part of the site in more recent times:


The depot buildings date from the Secind World War and can be seen from the road built in later days:


And don't bother trying to zoom in on the signposts as I've smudged them....;)

RAF Yatesbury?
