S L B you are spot on. All yours.

Thanks,

I could not find it on Google maps.
Probably old photos can you send a map link?

Now this:
Does it count as an Aerodrome?

SLB will it clear 50 ft?

Self loading bear 21st Dec 2019 22:14

I guess the site is 100x50ft but certainly not clear!

That’s an Iskra TS-11 sitting in the weeds. Are we therefore in Poland?

Self loading bear 22nd Dec 2019 08:31

Poland indeed.
Bonus points for the person who can tell why it is in the weeds.

Well here it is, 52.18858719N 23.02934837E , near a village called Wolka Nosowska. Close up image here(A Kalinowski): Twoje forum lotnictwa lotnictwo.net.pl - PZL-Mielec TS-11 Iskrabis - 311 - 1H-0311 - Poland: Other location - Wólka Nosowska( ) | Aleksander Kalinowski (EPBC Spotters)

No idea what it is doing there, nor what, if any, airfield is assocaiated!

The village leader of the village of Arkadiusz Romaniuk in an interview with Onet journalists explained that the machine was on a private property and was bought several years ago from the airport in Biała Podlaska as a decoration.

Welcome back ASW!
That the correct answer!
You have control.

Asturias gets the bonus points.
On some sites it is suggested that the plane was put there as radar testing target.
But I thought that unlikely as there is space enough on Military ground to do radar testing.

The plane is on a semi buried storage cellar which explains that they plough around it

Thank you SLB, this one certainly is of an aerodrome, and even has my Mum in it!

Asturias56 23rd Dec 2019 08:24

UK? Benson pops into mind but I can't think why....

asw28-866 23rd Dec 2019 08:49

UK is correct, not Benson.

Kenley, 1978(ish) - if it is, I was probably in one of those tents on the right.

asw28-866 23rd Dec 2019 19:55

Getting warmer nvubu, right decade, right county.

Mum & I were both at the 1978 Kenley event.

Slope on r/w may be Biggin Hill...?

asw28-866 23rd Dec 2019 21:42

Bravo, sycamore has it Biggin Hill it is. This is a post Air Fair shot taken in 1972 when Sportair flying club were about to depart for the annual trip to the Sportavia Fournier factory in Germany. Aircraft are lined up along the edge of runway 29/11 looking West towards the then still active (OASC) RAF side, not too far from where the below image was taken.

You have the Christmas control.
