The army helicopter training field at Oakey? OH if correct.

Of course it's Oakey, there's a 'Bou and a Gonad parked at the Museum.

The same area of Oakey in 1945, lots of aircraft awaiting disposal, note the concrete hangar base at the bottom CC's photo.

Yes, Oakey of course. From my window here chez moi I can see the British Army equivalent. Sad that a former colleague 'bought the 'farm'' in a Gonad many years ago. Good ancient photo, thanks.

To Max Tow.

Max Tow called OH.

JENKINS 30th Jul 2019 09:44

OH, thanks, lack of attention at breakfast time.

dook 30th Jul 2019 10:17

Breakfast seems late in the Chicken Run.

JENKINS 30th Jul 2019 10:31

Read newspaper first.

I hope we are not going to wait all day for a new challenge.

Here you go then

edit: image change

dook 30th Jul 2019 12:50

I wonder why the change.

Looks like a few bombs missed.

nvubu 30th Jul 2019 12:52

Same location. I think this might be a harder image :ok:. I'll put the other one back up at a later stage.

Allied airfield or Axis WW2 ?

nvubu 30th Jul 2019 13:00

Well that covers every combatant airfield in WW2 :)

dook 30th Jul 2019 13:03

Well, I have to start somewhere in the search.

I'll opt for Axis since I have more sites bookmarked for those.

Interesting that there is no runway visible, so prolly grass.

The fields and woods suggest Germany.

End of runway at upper right corner?
the Field in Centre of picture is to small

dook 30th Jul 2019 13:22

Possibly an American raid.

sycamore 30th Jul 2019 13:40

J,imagine you refer to ex-RR,SP...?

nvubu 30th Jul 2019 13:59

Axis Airfield, but not Germany now.
Ramp is top right - later photos will show the runway.
American Raid

Poland or Czech Republic is my next shot.
