No, despite that length. The highest bomber number was 32, although that did not dominate the field.

Might it be WW2 era when built ?

JENKINS 1st Jul 2019 19:44

Yes, right at the end.

B-36 Peacemaker.....

Fort Worth joint base ?

edit - err no.

JENKINS 1st Jul 2019 19:56

Not Fort Worth, and 32 was the highest bomber number Sycamore. Even then, the 32 number was a mere 10 per cent of other bomber numbers. Take another look at my registration, it will lead to the Interweb. Perhaps a little help from your friends?

Spence Air Base Georgia ?

JENKINS 1st Jul 2019 20:09

Not Georgia.

Walnut Ridge ?

JENKINS 1st Jul 2019 20:23

Spot on. WW2 junkyard, that is how I found it. B32 Dominator, late entrant. Many years ago the four members of a popular beat combo from England landed here in their travels, and Walnut Ridge continues to hold a Beatles festival each year, John, Paul, George, and Ringo, providing another entree to the field.

All yours.

Looks like another S pacific hell-hole - maybe in PNG?

dook 2nd Jul 2019 08:20

PNG it is......

Asturias56 2nd Jul 2019 08:59

It might be Mokmer near Biak?

dook 2nd Jul 2019 09:01

Good morning Asturias.

Unfortunately not. This airfield no longer exists

Asturias56 2nd Jul 2019 11:33

I think we're going to need another clue.................... :confused:

dook 2nd Jul 2019 11:41

Coming up.....

Built by the Australians and captured by the Japanese in 1942. The aeroplane is Japanese.

More clues if required.

Vunakanau on East New Britain? OH if correct.

dook 2nd Jul 2019 12:22

It is indeed Vunakanau chimbu.

Bad luck Asturias.

chimbu has called OH.

Asturias56 2nd Jul 2019 12:26
