I have been around the square tower in back of Gannet, facing backwards, at very low level. Fifty years ago!
Added - trip was on 26 November 1971. Perhaps the machine had taken part in the Kai Tak venture of several days ago. Pilot? One of, I believe, two within the relevant organisation sharing initials with a South African who played cricket some years later. |
Biggin Hill RAF tower? (early model Porter with piston engine at an air show?)
|
It's not Biggin Hill.
|
Is the location in Europe?
|
No - not Europe.
|
early model Porter with piston engine at an air show A wild guess, but might this be in Libya? |
Not Libya.
JENKINS hit it squarely with Masirah. Photograph taken in 1966. JENKINS has the thread. |
JENKINS has found it ^^^^^.
|
Thanks, the photograph had a familiar ring to it. I am now off on long journey to Derriford, visiting. That also will ring a bell. Regret cannot play, so Open House.
I wonder if it was a demonstrator to Royal Oman Police? |

Early Butterworth...?
|
I'm sure I saw something very similar whilst looking for nvubu's airfield recently.
Around Papua New Guinea somewhere methinks. |

Neither but closer to PNG than Butterworth - bu there is also an Oztralian connection............. |
I think it could be Ambon.
|
|
Definitely Ambon (WAPP).
|
Yes Ambon - not my favorite airport at all ... it gets very bumpy with a NE wind funneling down from a gap in the mountains to the NE and late afternoon you can get a lot of Cu building up in the bay. The town is a dump a but at least they've finished the bridge - which saves a long taxi or "interesting" boat ride to town........................ Dook has control and can post immediately..............
