Thanks. Like you say, amazing architecture. Is that a Sea Fury?
Even black an white allied D-day striping. But I could not find any confirmation. |

You're right - Sea Fury (though perhaps Korean War stripes). Odd location - RC model perhaps?
|
Long time since I've seen a Sea Fury but didn't they have 5 blade props? The aircraft in the photo has a 4 blader.
|
The Fury prototype had a four-bladed prop, although this would be an unusual location for it to be spotted! :)

here' a challenge

The Emerald Isle?
|
No - somewhat colder in winter............. mainly used for internal flights with the occasional international charter

South Lapland Airport
Vilhelmina Sweden? |
I must congratulate you on your first image. A really whacky windsock and the stump of Christmas Tree - presumably that which is later displayed........
|
No not Sweden Bear - and to keep OUAQUK happy ... here's another light - this airport is less than 50 years old I think

Thanks, I'm none the wiser. Wonderful that this thread keeps going. Just the ticket in these difficult times.

Slb,
No, I hadn't seen it before. What a great picture! Asturias, If not Sweden, this mountains indicate Norway, to me. |
To you they might - to the people who live there - definitely not!!
This place is currently very quiet but it is constantly wracked by an east v west conflict that has caused vast damage - the challenge occasionally has some military activity https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....39d89bf0bf.jpg |

Well it's got rather a smart terminal building - tho TBH there isn't much traffic - it's not the home of anyone really famous and not a lot has actually ever happened here as far as I know - even the local town isn't that old

Egilsstaoir Airport Iceland
Maritime patrol Hermes 900 are deployed from here. |
Well done that man! - A mince pie and a Christmas Cracker for you! It is indeed Egilsstaoir in Iceland , which we all know sits on the Mid Atlantic ridge and is being pulled apart cm by cm -. The airstrip is heading towards Norway I think........ A very Merry Christmas to you all!
