Indeed it was. HMS Vengeance, HMNLS Karel Doorman, and final existence as ARA Veintecinco de Mayo all pointing to a Naval Air Station, and HMS Peewit being the name of the bird as well as the Shore Establishment. In The Netherlands at this time of year, apparently, Peewit eggs are legally sought but not damaged.

WIWOL territory close to Leuchars and Barry Budden, with Jaguar territory not too far. You have control.

It certainly was Jaguar country. I left one underground 17 miles NW of there in 1981.

Clearly crossed with Dook’s post.
I would never have picked up the link with HMS Peewit
And the Karel was previously named Venerable.

Peewit eggs,
yes nowadays still sought but then marked with flags to protect the nests from agricultural maching.
This year record breaking early in February.

RAAF?
I still miss the link with the Veinticinco de Mayo

Sorry - old pax got in first so I'll withdraw the one I just posted (although I can't actually see oldpax's one).

Bruntingthorpe?

dook 30th Mar 2019 16:00

It's 2300 local time in Thailand so I think we might have to wait for oldpax to return.

However, I feel that kenparry is correct.

kenparry 30th Mar 2019 16:14

Are you there, oldpax?

If not Brunty, then St Mawgan (or Newquay Airport if you prefer)

dook 30th Mar 2019 16:38

I think it's K4 ZD241 which ended up at Bruntingthorpe.

Self loading bear 30th Mar 2019 16:48

I think it is XR807 and I believe the correct answer is not yet given.

Already on the gin and bitter lemon - bit early for a Spey Royal; I was intending to make a quip (spurred by the foregoing challenge) about comments falling on 'stoney ears' (Stone of Scone, get it?) but decided not to.

dook 30th Mar 2019 17:52

SLB,

If you believe that the correct answer has not yet been given, what's your guess ?

JENKINS 30th Mar 2019 18:17

Dare I consider Kemble, now known as Cotswold?

chevvron 30th Mar 2019 18:46

Dare I consider Dunsfold?
