Mountainous - near the coast.

Chile?

At last - it's Cochrane innit.

It is, LM. Good effort, hope the blisters on your mouse finger isn't too painful!

You have it.

Cheers mate.

One for you since we're alone at the moment.

Keep going...............

No question about it - your cockpit. :ok:

----------------:bored:

I've got another but what with the football being on the box tonight I won't be able to give the thread the appropriate attention so OH.

Are we back in the UK, or is it the USA this time?

Are we back in the UK?

Yes indeed. I can draw a rough map of the area if you wish.

My first thought was Hendon again, but the two roads/taxiways are juxtaposed.

Map? Map?..........:ok:

Blimey - not one but three maps!

Not far from me then.

That's the area of Hullavington, but that didn't open until 1937.

Hereford?

All right, maybe my map was a tad rough.

None of those places you mentioned above. Try this...

Not Upavon....I think. :)

But my village/aerodrome does have "Avon" at the end.

Quote:

Netheravon

Done! :) Nice place?

Netheravon

Most places around here are nice mate, especially in the summer.

Lots of good pubs and beers too.

Gentlemen,

I shall have to OH this one.

Obviously a seaplane base and I think I see Catalinas.

American base therefore, but not in the USA I suspect.

edit: just NB'd the trees - South Pacific?

Nearly all correct LM but not 100% so.

Now you've got me wondering which bit is wrong.....

:E........................

I'll get you for this!

PS - found something.....

Quote:

Units Based at Lunganville Seaplane Base
VP-12 (PBY
Catalina)
VP-44 (PBY Catalina)

Warm Granddad?

Perhaps it's Indian Ocean, not Pacific, and somewhere like East Point, Diego Garcia

Hello Allan - not seen you here before. :)

Oi LM, appropriate respect please! (or perhaps it was).

It is actually Luganville, Espiritu Santo, New Hebrides.

The (relatively minor I concede) error was that the Catalinas are RNZAF not USAF.

Well mate, that's what it says under your name. We're the same age remember. ;)

I don't have anything ready at the moment so it's either:

OH
Throw another one up
Perhaps Allan our new member might like to have a go.

Either way, let's keep the ball rolling.......

Hang on - I've got sumfin'.....

Yeah, got anything Allan while I grub around in my files looking for something?

I've got something ready to go.......
