I'm guessing the mutiny is Invergordon in which case the airfield would be HMS Fieldfare/Novar/Evanton although I couldn't find either of the photos.

Open House if correct.

Invergordon the mutiny ? - in haste, Delny ? - Fearn ? more looking needed, kinda busy elsewhere. LFH

Novar airfield is correct.
Olympus has declared ;
Open House.

Thanks for letting us know Novar is in Scotland.:rolleyes:

Am I being too demanding by asking for the country/state/province/territory of these mystery aerodromes? I usually supply them if it is not obvious.

Check your P.Ms.

As it is Open House, I guess this one won't last long.

Wigtown? Open House if correct.

nvubu 30th Apr 2012 06:00

Wigtown/Baldoon it is.

The airfield today still looks to be fairly original, as aerial views of the land show that nearly all the perimeter and access roads remain visible, as do the roads to the various dispersal sites and installations belonging to the original airfield. As well as the roads, the concrete bases of many of the hangars and other buildings can still be seen on the ground.

To the SE (top of the picture) the tracked bombing range sitill exists.


As CharlieOneSix says - it's Open House

This one may prove difficult to solve:

Luftwaffe Airfield Stendal,near Berlin,Germany.

evansb 30th Apr 2012 15:19

sabredog is correct:ok: Well done.:D It is indeed Stendal, Germany. The photo was taken in August, 1944. You have control.

Here's another:

The caption on the pic says that it is almost certainly taken at location xxxx so I apologise in advance if someone comes up with a different location that they feel is correct.

sabredog 30th Apr 2012 19:54

Hanchung (Hanzhong) Airfield?

olympus 30th Apr 2012 20:09

Well, I found several examples of the photo, most of which were captioned as '...in China'. I will take a guess at Guangzhou.

Changchou? D-AGES of Eurasia.

Duckbutt 30th Apr 2012 22:37

What to say - it is China and the airline has been identified but the location according to the caption has not been mentioned.

Perhaps someone might try another name?

Incidentally, although one posting of this pic on the web gives the reg D-AGES, 'my' caption says it is actually XT-AGE.

wet wet wet 30th Apr 2012 23:02

Don't know if it helps but Changchou can also be spelt (in English) as Zhangzhou.
