Great challenge asw22. Without the railway curve, I wouldn’t have found it.

I have nothing to post, so nvubu has control.

nvubu 1st Jun 2019 17:50

No, tis Open House - I was just trying to name the three airfields - and yes I got the locations from here

dook 1st Jun 2019 18:37

Yes - I have had to use that site before.

Giving away trade secrets eh nvbu.

RNAS Yeovilton, by any chance ?

dook 1st Jun 2019 19:50

A logical shot but I'm afraid not.

I might have suggested RNAS Culdrose, but the tower as far I can recall is too small. The airfield looks more civilian to me.
I flew with a chap at Northolt on 32 Sqn who at times flew the`Stringbag`.

dook 1st Jun 2019 21:16

Military airfield but not Culdrose.

Colour scheme from the 1970/80s?

dook 2nd Jun 2019 07:55

Yes. The photograph was taken around 1979.

Lord Howe Island?

OH if correct.

dook 2nd Jun 2019 11:15

Are we in India by any chance ?

Self loading bear 2nd Jun 2019 11:25

Flap 40 nails it again

I was considering it for CGB but it came up on all “cow” searches.

OH called

dook 2nd Jun 2019 11:46

With no cows in your image I had no way of getting it.

Thread drift, wrt Lord Howe Island.

If you have not read "The Lonely Sea and the Sky" by (Sir) Francis Chichester, I do recommend it. He did the first E-W solo flight across the Tasman, in 1931, among many other achievements both aerial and nautical. He stopped at both Norfolk Island and Lord Howe Island.

A great read.

dook 2nd Jun 2019 15:01

Do you have a challenge ?

Flap40 2nd Jun 2019 18:04

I know i said OH but i'll throw this one in.
