Several ways of spelling it but yes - that's the place - rather a nice corner of the island - beaches, mountains........

My apologies to Sultan for putting him on the wrong track.
Some how it looks that Botswana is one of the few African countries withe the blue red no parking signs. (others being mainly white with red circle) “Aeroport de” put me on the former French colonies of which there is only one on the East side of Africa. Looks like a nice place indeed. Now this mishap. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....b8cab0018.jpeg |
Looks like an Avro 504,flown by `Hoskins`,late on the round-out...again.....
Netheravon..? |
AVRO 504 all right
But not Hoskins or at least not on his home field. |
Is this airfield in the UK? And does it still exist??

Well then - probably N France
tho it going to be hard to guess which muddy field without a leetle more info or another picture........ ;) |
|
A Bristol Frightener - but not in the UK nor a long way away from the UK - so not Argentina, Canada or New Zealand & not N France
I suspect its Belgium - somewhere like Brussels-Charleroi Airport (Gosselies)................... |
Gosselies It is.
I had a small vacation booked for April flying from there but it was not to be.... Still waiting for my refund. The Bristol was owned by Fairey aviation. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....86fb4d1cf.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....dbc8d874a.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....dfd61a225.jpeg Asturias has the lead |
Sorry about the delay - well that was an inspired challenge. I looked at European Freighter operators and noticed in an after-note that Avions Fairey operated one - it was so left field I assumed that's the one - there are some corkscrew minds on here!
I think we may have had Gosselies a couple of years back but as the modern airport. Open house! |
And a Hunter being swallowed by a mini-guppy...or maybe regurgitated....
|
Plenty of time on 'Fairey Legs' in my BN2 days across the Earth. Made no difference, still smashed in.
This next is not in my BN2 palmares, though it looks as if it should have been. Much prop blending, I imagine. Apparently extant in a much changed form. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....cd0963a2e.jpeg |
A wild guess at Salalah.
|
Good morning, and I regret not Salalah. North at top of photo, A320 recently landed after long dog-leg from departure field.
|
Manama?
Now Bahrein international |
Jeddah? Now King Abdul Aziz International.
|
Neither Muharraq nor Jeddah I fear. Not close, but general region OK.
