PPRuNe Forums - Which Aerodrome Mk III

Not Lee. Services were Royal Air Force, USAAF, Royal Navy, and...... I have flown out of Lee on Solent and this field on the same day in the same machine.

Wherever it is I don't think it looks like that now.

Is the missing unit the Coastguard ?

Not Coastguard. Constellation and DC4 were the large pistons seen.

Blimey - it must be some time ago then.

You have identified in the past, dook, a field 45 miles down the road where once I had to fly over and move the sheep before landing, and one barely 3 miles from this airfield.

For Slb, the current organisation here has no direct equivalent in Holland. If Sycamore is aboard, he was possibly too busy with head in books, or wax tablets, to notice.

Not sure how the clues fit but I think it is Middle Wallop. OH if correct.

Well - that's that one killed.

And I don't get the "clues" either, especially "the sun is shining"

It is Wallop. Squirrel, Gazelle, Apache, Griffin. Two 'gamey' beasts, one hunter gatherer, and a Griffin for the legend. Connie and DC4 at the Airshow. Now, of course, very quiet, not a Chipmunk in sight and the Tutor rarely in the air. The sun, merely a comment with reference to my viewing point. No Army Aviation in Holland.

OH declared.

Having spent all afternoon trying to find the last one and narrowing down the country, I think I'll throw one up.

Aloutte only historic, Sycamore. Was Alize so 'mighty?' I imagine you will have flown the machine, ho-ho.

Jenkins,

I was a bit distracted by a football game.
Yes I know Griffins (from Harry Potter)

We Dutch keep our
Leopards end Fenneks (not Phoenix) on the ground
Our Falcons in the air
our Walrus in the water
It sounds odd but we have seals which drive Vikings on the beach.
It is possible that a Viking can club a seal but that is not preferred.
Both are on the beach in the mud about right were they belong.
We only have problems with our Caimans which spin their heads around so fast that they think they can fly.
But due to that problem they are most times in their Kooij (cage)

Good morning dook. A very squiggly, complex airfield design there. Could it be the still-squiggly Dyce?
