Golf Clement-Ader.
|
I thought you were out of this? but correct Clement Ader (not Adler) with his batlike Eole. He hopped about 50 metres far at less than 30 centimeters height. at Gretz-Armainvilliers Later he made the Avion.Which word is the only thing remaining from his contributions to aviation. The greatest acheivement were his very light steam engines. He also envisioned Air bombing and aircraft carriers. over to dook |
I checked out because I had nothing to work with other than I needed to translate something not understood. It seems I wasn't the only one.

Bottom one looks like a Fokker Trimotor, maybe the original Schiphol?
|
Not Schiphol KP.
|
One excellent Summer's Eve cocktail party later...Hic...
Valkenburg Navy |
I have consulted my large scotch and it says not there either.
|
Umm, okay, change of Services from sea to land - I'm going to go with Braaschaat Army to the South of the previous suggestion.
|
Oh dear - not Belgium either.
|
Enschede Twenthe?
Am I unwittingly fixated on Holland? Or am I deprived of my wits by above mentioned cocktail party? |
Get away from Holland.
|
In that case - the control tower tacked on to the North-East corner of the thoroughly avant-garde looking Hangar leads my wits towards France?
|
Wrong direction.
|
Then my wits have deserted - it's been a heavy weekend - what with the cricket and the cocktail party.
I must withdraw for now but NOTAM well you change of NAV heading in regards to the Target. Time to settle the missus down with some cheese on toast and retire me to my study and a quiet libation of a glass containing elements, not inconsequential to the mind, of the Isle of Jura - which happens to be my particular poison. Good Night Dear dook (thorough-bred bastion of the "What Aerodrome Thread"). For now... |
Funny old thing - I have just finishes a malt too.
The Rolls Royce of whiskies. I am off also. |
Has everyone gone away - perhaps to Germany ?
|
I have located the hangar but still searching for the tower

Excellent SLB - that is pretty much the hangar.
I was going to say Germany earlier today but I have been watching the cricket in mute horror at the Oz batting triumph which has put paid to any chance of getting one up on them in the first test. Shot in the dark; Nordholz? |
If you mean Nordholz north of Bremerhaven that's way too far north.
We are in what was the DDR. How's your head today ? |
