I'm intrigued - you've driven along it but not flown into it.

So is it still in use or disused ?

Error, driven alongside it, but road not in view, sorry. Yes, still active according to call for weather earlier today. Cannot link it with Gibraltar I fear, but certainly close to efforts of locals in struggle for independence. No battle nearby, but perhaps 'a battle' may be relevant.

This might sound silly, but are we in Scotland ?

Not silly at all, yes and chosen for that very reason.

Away for one hour.

Possibly Campbeltown.

Perhaps your reference to "battle" may refer to the ship.

Heaven forefend, Macrihanish! Definitely not, and I have landed on the grass there. Nice note though, about the destroyer. So, once again, no battle but perhaps A battle.

Well, I think it must be on an island.

May I assume it is marked on GE ?

Not on a Scottish island. I found it on GE, though I knew what I was seeking.

Perhaps I should add that GE has not 'marked' the field.

Well, I don't think it's marked on GE with the usual airfield symbol.

edit: crossed posts

Dunno 'bout anyone else, but this jury is out.

Nearest machine is Polish, and for one in this parish the field lies close to a straight line between two significant points.

A repeat A battle in Scotland... or perhaps we should read it as A BATTLE in Scotland

If memory serves me right there was one at Strathallan and it looks a possible on GE

A battle, put those together and you are there. But then, this battle was not in Scotland. Polish machine still there. Not Strathallan.

Strathallan is marked on GE and the challenge is not.

My battle, not in Scotland, was 1July, and my significant straight line was 1June.

Deeside gliding club.

As in A boyne.

Yes, well done, Aboyne. Plenty of local history in relation to the '1715,' wonder if the Stuarts will ever return.

Thank you J - I was going to give up until I found the battle of Boyne.

Here is an aircraft of which I had never heard.
