Thanks Dook - 485th BG at Venosa.

dook 29th Oct 2019 13:39

Bingo with Venusa.

Over to you. :ok:

Shackman 29th Oct 2019 13:41

Sorry to say - Open House.

dook 29th Oct 2019 13:42

After all that work.

Took a Shack to Foggia in '71. The locals (and the USAF at Souda Bay) thought the B-24s had returned!!

A reminder that we are still at OH.

I think this is also called an open house?

10/10 for humour !

I first thought it is an ATC rower, but it can't be.

Is it a guard post or something similar ?

jensdad 31st Oct 2019 20:27

Hi team,
The graffiti seems to be at least partly in the Roman alphabet (hard to tell) and Western numbers (definitely). But the landscape looks like somewhere in India, Pakistan or that neck of the woods.
Turkey?

The words top left say "finger lickin good" with an image of Col. Sanders.

An American base therefore and to me it looks more like a desert.

jensdad 31st Oct 2019 20:59

Ah, I see. I'm thinking Pakistan or Afghan then. Never having been to that part of the world thankfully, I can't venture any further guesses...

Dook it’s a former guard tower.
Jensdad, I just found a better picture

Bear's latest says I was correct about the graffiti.

Well, if it's a recent occupation or combat zone I'll go for Afghanistan.

Since Bear has posted under aerodrome it must narrow it down.

dook 31st Oct 2019 21:11

Google

"american air bases guard tower Afghanistan" and the last image appears on the second line.

Bagram.

Former Russian guard tower at Bagram it is.
Over to you Dook

dook 31st Oct 2019 21:47

Thank you Bear.

Bahrain ? I think you meant Bagram.

I have challenges up on the other two threads so this one has to be OH

dook 2nd Nov 2019 09:39
