Since we're all shooting I'll be silly and say Fairford.

Sorry for late reply ,had an early night!!JENKINS has it !It was at a display at Kemble c2014.Not many left in my photo collection!
|
Thanks. Much help from Holland in identifying the airframe, for then there popped up a photograph with the relevant ground equipment. The neatness of the blanks and covers indicated an 'in service' aircraft.
Bit late, OH I regret. |
I have a slightly different format for you this time - I don't know the answer. This was taken in 1970, somewhere over Malaysia between Butterworth and Singapore, and just to add to the mix it may be reversed (but not quite to the extent my last Butterworth challenge - taken on the same sortie - was. I look forward to the answer (and proof if available).

I think Tekah (Taiping) fits your bill. I t is on your route and has still the roughly square shape with diagonal runway. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....3372ffcad.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....84eac64c40.png |
Since Shackman says he doesn't know the answer how are we to judge the answer ?
Consensus of opinion ? |
SLB - I think you are right (it is also my thinking) but although it has the roughly square shape I couldn't make the roads round the side fit the orientation of the main runway.. However, after flipping, turning and otherwise manipulating the image I have now made it fit - so score another one for the Bear. And thank you for giving me the answer.
Bear has control. |
Thank you Shackman,
Especially only the ends of the runway paved with an access road across one end were the confirmation for me. Your photo is indeed mirrored. The lower triangle on your photo is the now "develloped"/ruined area in the Northwest side. Next challenge This used to be a dry landing place. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....ef090847f2.jpg SLB |
Anything to do with gliding ?
|
Wasserkuppe ?
|
Yes to gliding no to Wasserkuppe |
I think it's about Lilienthal.
Fliegeberg, Berlin looks good. |
Dook scores again. Otto’s Fliegeberg was probably the world’s very first private VSTOL airport. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....6b3c28b24.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....7ec63f935.jpeg I wonder if Otto would have ever managed to cross the pond? SLB |
Ellington Field?
|
Having looked that up I'm afraid not.
|
Looks like you have crossed the pond. Is this in the USA?
|
USA indeed.
|
Another stab along the lines of my earlier, Beale AFB long ago?
|
Looks to be civil, not mil?
|
It was and is civil but I think the military used it for a while.
