Clue. Has a fair claim to being the oldest aerodrome in the world.

I always thought that was associated with the Wright Brothers but this clearly isn't.

dook, suggest you don`t watch Naked Attraction` late at night........

I would not suggest the Wrights weren't the first to achieve conrolled powered flight, certainly. But they were nowhere near here.

Quite normal sycamore. :E

KP - UK ?

Not the UK.

Would that be Waitohi, New Zealand, where Richard Pearse conducted his experimental flights in 1902? OH if correct.

As in Goodman Household in Kenya?

Not Sweden, not NZ, not Kenya.

This is going better than I thought.

First use of aerodrome (according to Wiki) was by the French at Viry-Chatillon,a Paris suburb ,now overgrown with housing,nothing visible in the environs..
Another is Gacina,in Russia,but nothing visible there either....
So ,is it Langley in USA..?

Langley's attempts used a houseboat as an 'airfield'.

Not USA, not France.

The picture is current and the field is still used, mostly by gliders although I've landed the Jodel there.

I thought it might be Ireland but can find nothing.

Possibly one of the low countries.

Are we in Germany.....?
dook,apart from Harry Ferguson of tractor fame,....

Yes - I found Ferguson but no airstrip.

Off topic.

JENKINS thinks that a "wire" is 250 ft 240 kts.

May I introduce a very good friend and colleague.

Sycamore - Germany indeed.

Another clue. Operations pre-date Wilbur and Orville.
