lets go mad - somewhere in Germany around 1945? Is it still in use? (not the sign I ope...)

Did something rather unpleasant happen there in 1972 too?

It isn't in Germany - these images are from before 1945, and it is still in use.

I can't find any information that something unpleasant happened here in 1972.

I'll go outside with the next images.

No, I was thinking Fürstenfeldbruck - which is in Germany.

Then we are in France?

Was the site destroyed in april 1944?

Yes, we are in France.

Outside as promised.

Overheads are coming next.

Might it be Villacoublay ?

Maupertus-sur-Mer Airfield, 1943, B-17 strike aftermath.

Edit I was Getty close
but no place mentioned.
Bombing must have been 1943
as this photo is dated 1 January 1944

Looks like a Long Horn type thing on the grass there...

We are in Blighty?

Jumo 211J?

Yes, good Bear, certainly that variant with the rad fitted in the cowl like that. Powered up those pesky JU-88's.

We are not in the UK.
