This airfield ceased flying operations shortly after WW2.

Closest I can get is either Boxted or Chipping Ongar.

Hethel.....
Flying continued from there until at least the 1980s

That's a hit for nvubu.

I should have said military flying. Apologies.

nvubu 26th Aug 2019 09:35

That's alright. I have a bit of an unfair advantage with Hethel as two of my current cars were built there.

While I'm waiting for this years holiday pictures to upload to my OneDrive, here's an airfield from a previous trip.

How many cars do you have ?

I once had a Lotus Cortina. Not exactly a wolf in sheeps' clothing with the distinctive green stripe and the badges.

Quick for its' day though.

Here are my current two;

Had my Esprit since 1987. Bought the Excel 4 years ago to travel with the family - use it two or three times a week. Got a couple of modern cars as well.

Lotus Cortina's are still quick.

The ground in your challenge appears rather parched.

Am I correct in thinking we are not in the UK ?

nvubu 26th Aug 2019 10:22

You are correct, this isn't in the UK.

Mmmm......Spain or the Balearics ?

nvubu 26th Aug 2019 11:17

Neither of those

Europe - maybe France then ?

Yes, this airfield is in France.

I like the fact that Google Image search has "Pages that include matching images" for my previous image - when it doesn't.

Rear of some of the hangars.

Google Image search only looks at pixilation and can be easily fooled.

All my challenges are taken from the internet.

Northern France....?

dook 26th Aug 2019 13:14

Suspect south.

nvubu 26th Aug 2019 13:45

dook would suspect correctly.

Blimey - if that's an air-conditioning system it must get hot there !

nvubu 26th Aug 2019 14:01

On our drive down, the car was showing 39 degrees.
