I've seen something like that before.
I think it's a Zeppelin hangar. |
And quickly found - Tonder, Denmark.
|
Yes Tonder Tonder raid. Interesting raid by RAF from HMS Furious https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....1a5778cdb4.png https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....dc9ddf053d.png dook has the stick again |
Just for once you've been unlucky !
|
|
Single engine Planes with dihedral fairly rectangular/tapered wings. Might be radial engine: Texans? Therefore an American training base? |
Not a training base but was American long ago.
Not out tonight ? |
Think they`re F4F Wildcats,;dispersals suggest heavy bombers,B-29s;sandy,tropical,Phillipines..?
What year was it taken...? |
There were Wildcats there but no heavy bombers were stationed here but did pass through as far as I can ascertain.
Not Phillipines. Photograph circa 1942. |
Then perhaps Panama Albrooks? no photo proof found. OH if correct |
We're not in the Americas at all.
|
|
Not a single post or question all day.
I shall reveal the answer at 2100 GMT. |
I have been looking at Gilbert islands and Gardner island as these gave been American long ago but claimed by U.K. somewhere 1888. But no succes in matching airbases. |
Leading with my chin here, but I don't recognize this as an Australian mainland airfield (although the vegetation could be). New Guinea?
|
When I said long age I meant WW2.
The airfield was built by the Americans and is now an international airport. Quote a way from New Guinea. |
As far as Noumea? Bit different when I visited in BN2. Perhaps difficult to imagine a cross runway.
|
Yes there.
Take the left seat. |
Thanks. Only just taken up the cause; it was the Wildcat which swung it, many of the other fields operated F6. While at airport motel, noticed a couple of skydivers deep in a French magazine. On cover was a photo of an occurrence on a lift which I had flown earlier in the year.
Please can I call OH, nothing ready at the moment. |
But here is one to close the OH. Place I had wanted to visit and failed.
