Oops flag not scratched out.
It is not near Ypres.
flag says probably .... perles

Is this a grass airstrip ?

I think Perles is a red herring.

Can you answer my post at #17297 - I think you missed it.

It is indeed a grass strip
and the perles is not a herring

Well, I reckon it's Germany or Luxembourg.

dook 5th Oct 2019 21:13

On GE, just looked for Perle. It's a town in Luxembourg and near there is an airfield which matches your overhead view.

It is called Noertrange.

If you or anybody else would have read back my posting history you would have found that I had a busy time in Lux and that you would have to look out for challenges from that neighborhood. Noertrange (or Notringen) is indeed home to skydive club cvPerles.

Who is Dik ?

Dik is a former collegue of mine with the most unfortunate name
Dik de Kok
my spelling correction keeps inserting names it recognizes from my contact database.
If anybody knows how to disable that on an Iphone please send a PM.

dook the thread is yours.

Does not look like an airfield with war history
might even be post war?
the roadmap of the city part nearby suggest architectural planning.
European mainland?

dook 6th Oct 2019 14:19

It opened in 1935 and finally closed in 1952.

It didn't really have a war role.

Yes - mainland Europe.

Looks rather French......or Italian

dook 6th Oct 2019 14:25

The former Monsieur.

It no longer exists.

sycamore 6th Oct 2019 17:05

Was it in a suburb of PARIS...?

dook 6th Oct 2019 17:08

No. East of Paris.

It is now part of the town you can see.

Would you like a GE view ?

sycamore 6th Oct 2019 17:13

I`m sure it`s all swallowed up; GE would be nice

dook 6th Oct 2019 17:35

OK here it is.
