I'm still trying to work out why it's on its tail.

These aren't

I'm beginning to think factory.

This isn't a factory

sycamore asked if we're in Alaska.

He asked at post 15080.

Whoops, so he did, missed that when the page no changed

Well, I've now got the bomb group and the aeroplane and still getting nowhere.

Time for a rest.

Rapid City, now Ellsworth? Plenty of snow there.

Fairchild Airforce base / Spokane Air depot Washington state

Not Elsworth or Fairchild

No propellers here.

shadow shows relatively low latitude ie lower 48 and possibly southern states. Flat old lake bed? with substantial mountains to EAST - so probably not the plains side of the Rockies

Big snow so not S Arizona or California - maybe Utah/Wyoming??

Salt Lake City?

I think it might be Hill AFB, Ogden Utah

"Following American entry into World War II in December 1941, Hill Field quickly became an important maintenance and supply base, with round-the-clock operations geared to supporting the war effort. Battle-worn warplanes like the A-26, B-17, B-24, B-29, P-40, P-47, P-61, were sent to Hill Field for structural repairs, engine overhauls, and spare parts. The peak wartime employment at Hill Field was reached in 1943 with a total of just over 22,000 military and civilian personnel. "

Ridge line looks similar......

Asturias56 has it with Hill AFB. I thought that the mountains would be a give away.

The mountains helped but it was actually the shadow and realizing the base had to be VERY close to the mountains... and such a range of aircraft..................... so not a factory and probaly not a n active fighting location - some sort of facility for repair, upgrade etc etc............... :ok:

Try this bucolic location..................

Morning Asturias, and well done on the last challenge.

I think I see water top right and maybe a beach bottom left.

An island or peninsula ?

On an island .................................... small but has occasional international flights
