Oryx Airport Hotel. A great way to spend a couple of hours away from the crowds. |

Looks tropical,or should that be pacific...?
Is it still there,and where is N...? |
Still there. View is about NW.
Pacific. |
OK..N/S of Equator...?
S`Pore to 140*E(Papua/PNG) ,or further E....? |
Southern hemisphere and within the longitudes you have specified.
|
I reckon on Momote Airport in PNG.
If so as I have nothing available and it's time for bed, so OH. CC |
Checklist has scored with Momote.
He has called OH. |
|
At least it's an aerodrome !
Might it be in France ? |
Yes it is in France - no longer an aerodrome though.
|
Expeditionary force again ?
|
Nope - WW2.
Built before the war, but expanded by the Luftwaffe between 1940-42. |
From those clues it might be NE France.
|
Not NE France.
|
Fairly far away from any front line on land.
|
Wild shot - Aix-L'Enfant ?
I have found several which are described as "no record found of any Luftwaffe units stationed there" so was it actually used by the Luftwaffe ? |
