Mumms... as in Champagne so around Rheims..... La Noblette Aerodrome, located 1.6 miles (2.6 km) Southeast of the commune of Mourmelon-le-Grand ???

Yours Asters.
Was also known as La Cheppe - depending on which end of the airfield you were standing.

Asters has the stick.


Asturias56 20th Mar 2020 22:02

Phew!! Sweated blood on that one.................. thanks for the clue

Somewhere more modern

Looks Nice.

Auxtank 21st Mar 2020 07:53

Looks rather odd. Old and new.
Sunny Spain?

Asturias56 21st Mar 2020 10:04

Not Spain - a ways from there....

The make of rikshaw precludes India...?

Auxtank 21st Mar 2020 11:27

Here be marmalade.
El Aeropuerto Capitán FAP Pedro Canga Rodríguez (Código IATA: TBP, código OACI: SPME)

That was the most intense WA I've done so far.
Rikshaw - non Indian.
Far East tuk tuk search.
Home in on non-charachteristic overhanging rear bicycle tyres - South America - specifically Peru.
Small airport building - big jet parking...
Much GE zooming.
Arrive.

Applause
I hadn’t even started yet.
Strange loop for cars/busses on the apron side.
Especially as there appear to be no busses!

Auxtank 21st Mar 2020 14:03

Cheers Bear, looks like a loop for pax busses - it's mainly a holiday airport;
Wiki: The airport is used mainly by locals and national and international travelers because of its proximity to beaches and resorts.

Aaaagggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhh :ok:

Bloody hell - "the clever men in Oxford know all there is to be knowed..."

It is indeed Pedro Canga Rodríguez - right on the border and used by inhabitants on both sides to get to & fro

Auxtank has it and I'm off the nearest railway line - but there aren't any trains running.......................

An interesting challenge Asters - it was the rickshaw that gave it away...
I doubt there's a man living with a greater knowledge of the various rickshaws of the World than I, Watson.


dook 21st Mar 2020 15:07

Girly bars as well no doubt.

Auxtank 21st Mar 2020 15:29

Ahem! yes, well..that's quite enough of that thank you mr dook.


Herewith devilishly difficult challenge...

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....ec08bc5de7.jpg

Just doing an "Asters", i.e; just nipping out for a bit.




Asturias56 21st Mar 2020 15:37

"I doubt there's a man living with a greater knowledge of the various rickshaws of the World than I,"

that's the problem on here - too many experts on the most arcane subjects - no knowledge at all that's useful of course but rickshaws or Indian train conductors Uniforms 1850-1875 and we're there.....

The picture looks like Bonnie Scotland to me?

chevvron 21st Mar 2020 17:19

Lerwick (new airfield not the old one)

Auxtank 21st Mar 2020 17:52

Nope.
We are not in Scotland me wee haggis's, haggessises...haggisae?
Sheep sack stuff..

Sorry.

I'm thinking possibly South-Eastern France, foothills-of-the-Alps sort of area?

A quick glance at my atlas has me thinking it's more Switzerland, Italy sort of way... If I have time tomorrow, and if nobody has it by then, I'll get me protractor oot.
