we had that earlier - I posted it - and I don't think so
Interesting hill/mountain in the distance on the challenge |
grizzled is correct; we are in Canada.

Someone wake up India42..................

I'm here! Just a bit slow getting up these days, while counting down the last days of my quarantine!
Left hand drive cars with front number plates so not USA. An airfield on flat land with a prominent hill in the distance. I don't know of any hills like that on the Prairies. I had a look at Abbotsford and Boundary Bay in the Fraser Delta, but those don't fit the bill. The predominantly white number plates might indicate Ontario. |

I'm confused by UV's comment. I live in Alberta, which, as far as I know, is the only jurisdiction in North America, where cars don't have front number plates. Saves the government a lot of money, but must really irritate the cops. An airfield on flat land with a prominent hill in the distance. I don't know of any hills like that on the Prairies. I had a look at Abbotsford and Boundary Bay in the Fraser Delta, but those don't fit the bill. The predominantly white number plates might indicate Ontario. India Four Two takes it with Boundary Bay. Nice deduction Holmes - it fits the bill. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_Bay_Airport India Four Two has the yoke. |
Well, well!
I dismissed Boundary Bay because I couldn't find the yellow traffic barriers, but my inspection was too cursory! Here they are: https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....61aa06308a.png Now I'm going to have to find that hill. It must be in the US - there's a reason the airport is called Boundary Bay. Nothing to hand, so Open House. PS The hill looks like it is on the peninsula immediately south of the border, just west of Blaine. |
I think it might be either Mount Constitution or Mount Dallas over the border down near Friday Harbor.
|
As it is Open House, I'll start the weekend: link to a large image here if anyone wants to try to identity the aircraft.

are they Me-262's north or above 3 the hangers?
|
They look more like tail wheels to me rather than a tricycle layout.
After a visit by some bombers. https://a3xqfw.am.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none |
nvubu,
Tricycle gear not necessarily required. ;) https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....f1bb0234e3.jpg I remember reading that Me262s were first identified by PRU because of the scorch marks on the grass, created by the early Schwalben. |
I think it had changed over to tricycle a fair time before these photos were taken - wiki says 5th prototype.

However I think the scorched grass tale does have a reasonable pedigree but I can't lay hands on it |
The building at the top of the two previous images can be seen in the next image - the other builds are a little obscured.

Are we in France?

Rechlin???

Possibly AUGSBURG Messerschmitt factory airfield.
|
dook has it with Ausburg Haunstetten - the Messerschmidt factory airfield. I'm fairly sure that the aircraft are Me 410s.
