Looks like you got it sabredog. Spent a good part of the morning in Norway (GE) Jan Mayen and all, and missed it :*

Spent some time time in Nunavut trying to find paved airfields. Too good-looking surface for Siberia.

Ho hum.

sabredog is correct:ok: Fahr Rost Lufthaven, Lofoten Islands, Norway. Terrence has control.

sabredog 25th Aug 2011 18:16

Sorry,Chevvron. It is not Graveley.

Steeple Morden?

TheChitterneFlyer 26th Aug 2011 06:31

Little Staughton?

RegDep 26th Aug 2011 07:14

Sabredog, how many of these towers (three middle-sized windows) RAF aerodromes had, at one point in their history? More than 50, I'd guess, but how many more?

sabredog 26th Aug 2011 09:41

Never had the time to count them,Regdep!

Kimbolton Airfield?

Russell Gulch 26th Aug 2011 10:29

Leicester East?

sabredog 26th Aug 2011 11:05

Sorry,Gentlemen, neither Leicester East or Kimbolton, but was used by the 8th.Air Force.

RegDep 26th Aug 2011 11:13

Wow! That narrows it down to 72 airfields.

RAF Andrews Field

Edit: If not, RAF Deenethorpe

sabredog 26th Aug 2011 11:23

Neither,Regdep.

RegDep 26th Aug 2011 12:03

How about Boxsted, then. That would qualify as an obscure one.

Or Great Dunmow . . .

sabredog 26th Aug 2011 12:11

Sorry,Regdep, it is not Boxted. The photograph is available on the web,and
the U.S.A.A.F. operated both the A-20 Havoc and the A-26 Invader from this airfield. It's name belies it size!

StressFree 26th Aug 2011 12:11

386th Bomb Group, Matching Green.

RegDep 26th Aug 2011 12:26

Little Walden? (if I understand correctly what "bellies" means)

Matches also the Havoc and Invader clue. And the tower is of the correct type, medium front windows 343/43.

Found the photo :ok:.

StressFree 26th Aug 2011 12:27

I reckon its RAF Little Walden?

sabredog 26th Aug 2011 12:37

Little Warden is correct,Regdep. Sorry,Stressfree,pipped by one minute.
Welcome to the thread.
Regdep,YHC
