Hen Ddraig scores with Pompano Beach.
Tough on ea22 and Ripton. All yours HD. |
Sorry have to be OH
Can't get to my stock of pictures at the moment HD |
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.
|
I had the same thought, broadreach. Arizona?
|
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'?
|
Not a 'Stan, although a Stan, WIWOL, worked there with me.
|
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. |
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 ?
|
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.
|
Is it an idea to leave the Middle East ?
|
Stay there. Firing ranges look prominent, an idea of scale may result. Bigger photograph in an hour.
|
Are we in Oman? Saiq?
DH112 and high were useful clues. 8 Sqn some years before my time there. |
