I'll hazard a guess at Glasgow.

Scratch that, the GMR at GLA is a different design. Let's try EDI.

jensdad 13th Aug 2019 16:12

Yep, on hindsight I should maybe have cropped out a bit more of the Saab 340!

All yours, Flap...

Flap40 13th Aug 2019 16:22

Thanks. Here's one to try.

North at the top.

Bad luck Flap - I already had that Norfolk job lined up.

There was a little bit more of it when I was at Coltishall in the early 70s.

edit: forgot to say Matlaske.

Your Baton then.

dook 13th Aug 2019 17:54

I have had several last less than five minutes.

Definitely military. Looks like it could be Warsaw Pact airfield design. Poland?

dook 14th Aug 2019 08:54

Warsaw Pact but not Poland.

Hi dook. Apologies for lack of response, been a busy day... Looks like prevailing wind is from the South West (or the bottom left corner of the photo anyway :) ) Other than that, I haven't a clue!

dook 14th Aug 2019 13:41

No need for apologies.

I am one of the few around here who is retired with time on my hands.

This airfield was Luftwaffe in WW2 so that should narrow it down to the country.

EX-DDR...?

dook 14th Aug 2019 15:13

Certainly is.

JENKINS 14th Aug 2019 15:30

Merserburg? Never been there.

dook 14th Aug 2019 15:36

But you have found it.

Cleared to the fix.

JENKINS 14th Aug 2019 15:54

Thanks, initials with this one. Seems very quiet, the local team(?) obviously playing away today.

Has an ex-RAF look about it (some of us do).

UK ?

JENKINS 14th Aug 2019 16:02

Yes, it is ex-RAF. I have worked with pilots who flew here.

dook 14th Aug 2019 17:13

These GE oblique views usually distort perspectives, but it does appear rather flat here.

So, Lincolnshire or East Anglia ?

JENKINS 14th Aug 2019 17:17

Neither I fear.
