If Magruder means CAC Fishermen’s bend then he probably right.
I found

on
Fishermen’s bend

Lets wait until mgahan wakes up.

If confirmed by mgahan and Magruder would like to post a challenge as a newbie , he might be able to post a photo on a photo server and post de link as text in the post.

I am sue he's correct, but I don't think we'll see mgahan for a while as it's 2305 in Melbourne.

I'll check out.

Definitely it's Fishermen's Bend, Vic.

dook 24th May 2019 18:54

Jeez mate.

Some of you Aussies get up early.

mgahan 24th May 2019 21:51

FISHERMAN'S BEND IT IS
 
Well done. Magruder. It's now got a bridge approach overhead head so a little difficult to land or take off!

I'm actually up a bit late this weekend day - back at Bonriki.

Bonriki? Been there a while ago - not exactly the center of the Universe......... sunny tho'!

I was lucky - something about the curve of the wingtip just popped Wirraway into the brain.

I have to declare OH - as a newbie all my posts are subject to screening and my inbox is blocked - many thanks to Dook for helping out but until I'm allowed to travel in the same part of the bus as the rest of you I'll just lurk on here....

Good luck

magruder now has ten posts - surely enough to be able to post.

I think I only had seven or eight when I put up my first challenge.

magruder1980 25th May 2019 09:19

try this

Three runways in a triangular shape suggests RAF, and the fields suggest UK.

Any good ?

magruder1980 25th May 2019 09:51

Correct - UK certainly

dook 25th May 2019 10:48

Is it RAF Graveley ?

Shackman 25th May 2019 10:57

More to the point - is that a FIDO installation I see (to go with the Halifaxes)?

JENKINS 25th May 2019 11:13

A guess at Croft?

magruder1980 25th May 2019 11:19

Graveley it is - it was used for the movie about the Great Train Robbery apparently...... Over to Dook..........

Seems like a distant place,Russian ,or Chinese....?

dook 25th May 2019 12:04

It is distant but not Russian or Chinese.

kenparry 25th May 2019 17:10

Japan?...………..

Odd layout, possibly due to terrain, but I think I've seen something like it before. Can't remember where though. An Island?
