PPRuNe Forums - Which Aerodrome Mk III

The aerodrome is shown as " Aerodromo de Obidos" on the web,

The sign & hangar state "Aeroclube Lagoa de Obidos",

If you go north of the airfield there is a the Lagoa de Obidos or Obidos Lagoon (where we spend some time paddle boarding), so the Lagoa in this case translates as Lagoon or Lake, and the sign is saying "Aeroclub of Obidos Lagoon".

There's also a Lagos in Portugal in the Algarve, which is where I thought you meant when you stated "Lagos Microlight Airfield" - especially as there is a microlight airfield just outside Lagos in Portugal (37°07'17.94" N 8°40'38.86" W) although it looks nothing like my images.

For the record. :)

Lagos Lagoon is a lagoon sharing its name with the city of Lagos, Nigeria, the largest city in Africa, which lies on its south-western side. The name is Portuguese, and means 'lakes' in the Portuguese language so 'Lagos Lagoon' is an example of a tautological place name.

I can see where I made my mistake. Gerry Breen's airfield has been extensively developed since I last looked at it and as you say is nothing like the airfield pictured.

Good morning chevvron.

You need to go a lot further west.

Think outside the box again.

US TV series about the survivors of an aircraft crash.

It's an island.

Are you Lost ?

dook	15th Sep 2019 09:30

"Lost" seems lost on everyone.

A quick Google will find the island quickly.

OK gentlemen, you all know that I do not do cryptic clues.

So far then:

US TV serial about the survivors of an aircraft crash.

"Lost"

An island.

I don't see why this is now difficult and I am considering revealing the answer.

A desperate dook,
not seen very often.
I guess not very much players this Sunday.

as there are no other takers,
Billingham Oahu Hawai

Goede dag Bear.

I'm not desperate - I just think it's been up for too long.

At long last a winner.

It's Dillingham not Billingham, Oahu.

Please take the thread. :)
