Fulbeck ??

olympus 4th May 2012 15:40

Well that didn't last long! Fulbeck it is; originally a relief landing ground for RAFC Cranwell.

YHC.

Wasn't absolutely sure 'cos I couldn't see the kart circuit, but that kink in the road along the remnants of the main runway (which I saw used for drag racing in '73) gave it away.

Open House.

Not on this thread it ain't. Photobucket is good though.

Midland Gliding Club, Long Mynd.

OH if correct.

aerobelly 4th May 2012 19:57

Spot on.

CGB has declared OH.

Here's another...

Gatow?

(and a few letters)

olympus 4th May 2012 21:36

Right country, wrong airfield.

evansb 4th May 2012 22:17

Rechlin-Larz ?

olympus 5th May 2012 12:32

Not Rechlin-Larz.

It probably doesn't help but the caption to this photo reads 'Four 658 Squadron Austers whose pilots accepted the surrender of [this airfield] in 1945. Four others are immediately following.'

Celle perhaps?

olympus 5th May 2012 15:29

Not Celle but certainly in the British Zone.

olympus 5th May 2012 22:31

Thought this one would have gone by now.

This airfield together with its adjacent Marine Air Station and nearby naval dockyard were heavily bombed during the war.

Contemporary photos are difficult to find on the net but I will post a modern-day shot (which will be searchable) if not guessed by Sunday midday-ish.

MReyn24050 5th May 2012 23:14

Wild guess. Seefliegerhorst Großenbrode?

Hen Ddraig 6th May 2012 11:25

Another wild guess. Jever

olympus 6th May 2012 11:32

Not Seefliegerhorst Großenbrode, although close to the subject airfield I don't think it's the same place.

Not Jever but it is also close geographically

This is the airfield today...
