Did your holiday go near Gap?

nvubu 11th May 2020 18:19

I'll answer if you tell me where Gap is :)

JENKINS 11th May 2020 19:04

Gap Tallard Aerodrome en France. Simple guess due to hills and Porters, but perhaps too much grass.

nvubu 11th May 2020 19:28

Ah non monsieur.
This holiday didn't go past that location, although we did go through France to and from our final destination..

All three aircraft look to be Swiss-made. Could it be in that fair country? If it is, I'll get my maps out...

How about Bex?

nvubu 12th May 2020 18:12

jensdad has narrowed down the country, but it isn't Bex.

nvubu 12th May 2020 22:50

Bex is around 130 miles away by road from the target airfield.

The ORIS PC-7 is based (or at least shown on several photos) in Locarno?

jensdad 12th May 2020 23:45

Yeah, I reckon SLB has it with Locarno. I went past there on a train (or was it a bus?) a few years ago. The vegetation definitely has a south-side-of-the-Alps look about it as well.

nvubu 13th May 2020 04:15

You'd reckon correctly. It is Locarno. Well done SLB.

We stayed at the Arcadia hotel in Locarno for a night on the way back from Italy. I have never experienced a swimming pool as clean as the one at the hotel. It was fantastic. So much so, that we stopped again the following year on the way to Slovenia, and this time it was the filthiest pool at any hotel we have stayed in, and was such as disappointment.

I've come across a few more holiday airfield images during my sort out of my images over the lockdown.

Gee, wasn’t expecting that Locarno would be right as I could not find the hangar/garage building with an A as shown on your photo.

Ok now one that I have never visited by air, but I must have been real close next to It.

SLB - on Google Earth go to streetview where it shows the Para Centro Locarno, then go a little south on the main road. Just past the hedge, look right, and there's the building.

Walt Disney World Stolport, Florida?
(that large edifice - Contemporary Tower - in background gives it away)
OH if correct. 'ZG

That is an older shot of the terminal at Brunei (WBSB). Open house.

As that kind of terrain could be almost anywhere, I suppose a hint is in order.
