Little spot called Chippily, east of Amiens?

he was probably the Base Commander........ but no confirmation until 21:48.......................

In reality I was checking to eliminate the almost obvious Netheravon when this popped up.

Chipilly it is.

Brakes off JENKINS.

Thanks, just luck as explained above. Now this: I fear that my input is restricted to GE by lack of copyright, state of machine, and so on. A spot much modified from the original field, and named when new, as

will be the next London Airport, after an Etonian.

Bedtime. I believe the field is now helis only. There is one very obscure clue in the text, even by my standards. No, not Eton.

Are we in the UK? My initial thought was Brooklands but that doesn't look right

Good morning, not UK.

Oval - ish - so N America???

Not North America.

I'll shoot for Europe.

You wouldn't have done very well at Bisley, Dook. Many miles out I fear. I have operated from the main field in this city, this field long past as a military and international venue. Was once a good spot to 'drop in.'

Ah, but I did do well at Bisley in 1965. Remember the Lee Enfield .303 ?

Indeed I do, but I was a hopeless shot. Congrats to you for 1965, and apologies for my unkind dig! When armed, I would hide my gun and wave a sturdy stick.

Future London....Singapore direction...?

I don't know what the oval track is but I'm sure I see a golf course.

Orientation, yes, albeit not on one of my epics which went that way and beyond.

Golf, yes, a middle-class pastime in any society. Lacking another sport, in which the original pupils often far outplay the masters.
