Looks Mediterranean,near coast,Portugal or Spain...?

dook 18th Sep 2019 09:52

Certainly Mediterranean and coastal, but you need to go east.

Near Barcelona?

dook 18th Sep 2019 10:58

Go east to the land of islands.

Ignorant newbie here - but love this thread!

Couldn't resist a punt -

Hal Far, Málta?

dook 18th Sep 2019 11:49

Hello Expatrick.

That's one island - I suggested the land of islands. I also suggested think sport.

Ah thanks! I shall. I thought of Hal Far because the surviving runway is (or was) used a a drag racing strip! I shall try again!

As above, nvubu cracked the sport.

nvubu 18th Sep 2019 12:39

Thanks dook. The Athens Olympics - lots of the venues used once and not since - check the hockey pitches (my sport) at the old airport on GE over time. What a complete waste.

And for the next aerodrome

Lossa sky.

Do I see French biplanes ?

nvubu 18th Sep 2019 12:53

Helpfully, the name of the airfield was printed in large letters just below the hangars, so I had to cut them out :)

They may well be French, but more likely another nationality.

dook 18th Sep 2019 13:04

Might they be American in France, as in expeditionary ?

nvubu 18th Sep 2019 13:26

That they would.

here's some more sky:

Parois maybe ?

nvubu 18th Sep 2019 14:01

This aerodrome is not at Parois. It is no longer an airfield, and hasn't been for a while.

Here are some aeroplanes (and sky)

This might be a long tour !

Methinks it was a temporary field.

Bicqueley ?

nvubu 18th Sep 2019 14:34

Not Bicqueley and it wasn't a temporary field, used in both wars.

You'll like this picture :ok:.

There is a aerial composite of the local town on the wall of this trailer :)

Too small? click here for a larger version. (I've blanked the name of the town out).

Did you say I'd like it ?
