No takers for OH, so how about this? Been there, as well as Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale Exec., with same type here as at Lauderdale.

Somewhat west and drier than Florida? Not uninhabited.

India Four Two 5th May 2019 07:59

I had the same thought, broadreach. Arizona?

JENKINS 5th May 2019 08:25

Not USA, ignore my red herring! Certainly drier, higher, and go either way to find it. Green is a feature in the language.

One of the 'stans'?

JENKINS 5th May 2019 13:14

Not a 'Stan, although a Stan, WIWOL, worked there with me.

JENKINS 5th May 2019 13:21

Away from Interweb until 1700 GMT.

Islamic country? Temporary base for USAF ops in the middle east? I find the unoccupied, and unstained concrete apron with little or no supporting infrastructure quite intriguing. I can easily wait until 1700Z , and beyond, for a response.

1700Z was a loooooong time ago. it's 0559 as I type so 1700 was nearly 13 hours ago

May 06th, 1700Z . I can wait. The taxiway radius markers and the size of the reinforced concrete apron would indicate a possible B-1B potential staging and rearming base. Gulf Coast? And I don't mean the Gulf of Mexico. And one should never start a sentence with 'and'. The dark brown spot to the middle right of the access road of the concrete reinforced apron could be a clue. I'm thinking the NGO's came in with a juicy contract, built a reinforced ramp/apron, and then departed back to Poland, err..the U.K...err... the U.S.A..

When he refers to "Stan a WIWOL" I think he may be referring to Stan Hodgkins..

The reference to green in the language is yet another of his typically cryptic and often misleading clues.

JENKINS 6th May 2019 08:55

Islamic country, but not a staging post. Green remains very relevant in the language of the country. Hodgkins gave me the nickname 'Prof,' perhaps explaining style. I used this strip, as it was, in two different aircraft, and arrived too late in 1970 for a third.

I know that Stan spent a while in Saudi Arabia, as did I, so is it somewhere previously unknown there ?

JENKINS 6th May 2019 09:38

Not unknown, not Saudi Arabia, didn't know Stan had been to the Kingdom. This place featured in a 1950s dust-up in which DH112 aircraft took part. It really is quite high.

dook 6th May 2019 10:06

Is it an idea to leave the Middle East ?

JENKINS 6th May 2019 10:23

Stay there. Firing ranges look prominent, an idea of scale may result. Bigger photograph in an hour.

kenparry 6th May 2019 11:04

Are we in Oman? Saiq?

DH112 and high were useful clues. 8 Sqn some years before my time there.
