Perhaps we should form a BOF club.

Wow!,
You turn your head to football for half an hour and two threads have exploded something else in shambles: https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....9a66ff4a7.jpeg |
The hangar in shambles of the first post was in the building stage when it was blown down.
before the build of that hangar it looked like this: https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....b95c974c3.jpeg |
Looks quite neat and tidy but a load of rather ancient 727's - are we in Florida Bear?
Defo in a right hand drive country - you can see the markings on the traffic circle sign bottom centre.............. |
Right hand country but not USA
|
Perhaps France, Perpignan?

but right Jenkins has control. The EAS company as shown on the photos was supposedly involved in some rather dubious aircraft deals. and also the delivery of the 6 Exocets for Iraq. (see cockpit thread) |
Thanks. Air Mauritanie 727 was the clue. I have flown in Mauritania for a short(s) while, but never at this next place. I have picnicked nearby however. Sorry for GE, it is all I have.

looks like Devon to me..............
|
Not Devon, England.

Birnie,Sturgistan......
|
Birnie is very close, and Birnie Kirk was my reason for visiting. I have seen the field referred to as Easterton, but the simplest title appears to be the Highland Gliding Club. Close nearby is the former RAF Elgin, recognisable in my days there by the former airfield buildings. W/pedia seems to have correct text for RAF Elgin but an incorrect location, namely Milltown.
Birnie, Sycamore, will certainly suffice, all yours. |
Aye,a nice wee kirk...!
A long way to go to seek absolution for your sins ,J..? Or were you seeking inspiration from St. Brendan the Navigator...? Anyway,it`s Open House time....!! |
somewhere a damn site nicer than Elgin................... IMHO of course....................

North America, as a start... ?
|
I think I recognize some British WW2 Vehicles.
most left could be a CMP (Canadian Military Pattern) So could be Canada as well. But most right in the row (mid photo) could be Leyland Hippo or a Retriever or such alike which makes UK or overseas RAF more likely. |

I even start to see similarities with a French WW1 aeroplane but that’s is probably an illusion? |
