What's the name of this airfield? Should be very easy.

Wanna clue?
|
|
:D:D:D
All yours again. |
OK, don't think this one's too difficult to track down:

I think I see Corsairs in Australian markings.
|
Well spotted LM.
|
I'll go for Australia somewhere.
|
Big country, Australia.
|
Sure is.
But not many places with a Corsair base. edit: I'm being dumb - they must be Australian Navy aircraft, so that narrows it down a bit. |
Maryborough, Queensland
|
Thats it LM.
|
Cheers mate.
I have to go out for a while, so either OH or you post another one. |
I've had a good go lately so anyone else want to post something?
|
|
Warsaw Pact military?
|
Military yes.
Warsaw pact no. |
French,or Belgian..?
|
Neither - go north. ;)
|
That's Skrydstrup I believe, in Denmark.
PM inbound, and OH when confirmed. |
That's Skrydstrup I believe, in Denmark. OH has been declared. |
|
Wild guess - Taranto ? LFH
|
Sorry Lord, not Taranto.
|
Kalafrana, Malta
|
Not on Malta.
Additional map, roughly with the same orientation as the photo above.... http://i47.tinypic.com/2i9mrra.jpg |
Clues
Not sure if there will much of a crowd watching over Easter, so another map and further clues.
http://i47.tinypic.com/2iqda12.jpg The flying boats are Short Singapores and the harbour is on the Algerian coastline. |
In that case I think that might be Bône (now Annaba)!
|
Arzew?..........
|
I reckon Duckbutt is correct!
|
Only polite to wait for confirmation TCF.
|
Arzew Your control. Happy Easter. Graeme. |
Thanks Graeme. I'm off to bed now but here's one that will no doubt will be sorted when I came back in the morning:

I think this is the water airport at Pavia, Italy.
TCF |
It's not TCF but there once was a (direct) connection.
|
Interesting... the existing hangar in Pavia is of identical design!
|
OK, my guess is that the "direct connection" is the River Po and that the hangar is (or was) located in Turin between the Ponte Isabella and the Ponte Balbis.
TCF |
Entirely correct TCF except that the direct connection I had in mind was that Pavia was one of the 'stops' of the Torino to Trieste seaplane service that operated between 1926 and 1934. Over to you.
Point of irrelevent interest, I drove through your village a couple of weeks ago, very pleasant spot. |
Indeed, the direct connection was going to be either the river or the service route... I went for the river. Good challenge... it kept me quiet for a few hours!
Point of irrelevant interest... I've since moved from Chitterne; but only by a few miles. However, I do agree, it's a most pleasant area of Wiltshire. Open House... TCF |
Apropos (;)) Duckbutt's post, this is all that is left of this water aerodrome:
