St Helena perhaps?

Flap40 27th Dec 2020 19:18

It is not St Helena.

At first I could not make out what I was looking at.
Lava rocks in the foreground but was that a shed or bunker with the yellow/black chevrons?
I went looking around for airports on volcanic islands.
Then I saw similar chevrons on La Gomera on the embankment at the end of the runways.
However I think El Hierro North end of the runway is the best fit.

Flap40 28th Dec 2020 15:06

Well done. It is El Hierro.

I featured Maasvlakte some months ago.

Asturias56 29th Dec 2020 08:13

I know but this is a different picture

Is it in the Netherlands?

Ah! Ijmuiden Heliport?

Not one of the Netherlands Garden spots IIRC?


Self loading bear 29th Dec 2020 16:59

Yes IJmuiden heliport
EHHE
Not one of the cleanest spots in the Netherlands indeed.
Just North of it the “Hoogovens” (Tata steel).

As far as I know only used for pilot service and Dutch coast guard.
Asturias on the stick

Let's try for an easy one

Scotland Farm?
(I'm hoping that's a 2 stroke engine; I'd hate to fly behind a 4 stroke emitting that much oil smoke.)

Flap40 30th Dec 2020 15:27

It looks like an RV-8 and there are quite a few of those about with smoke systems fitted. No idea about the airfield though.

Is it an airfield rather than a private strip?

Asturias56 31st Dec 2020 07:59

Sorry for the delay but I've been infringing the 24 hour rule occasionally recently I suspect.....
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....fcfc9624ff.jpg


No its not Scotland Farm but its not too dissimilar

It was privately owned I believe but now is in Group ownership and is open to all subject to prior permission

Happy New Year!

the challenge field is in the midst of an extension - it also hosts a very active group of model flyers (flyers of models... not perfect pilots)

By no means an easy one for me and especially for any non Dutch I assume:
Assuming not to be in a city extension, I will go for a polder.
Most polders have little forest.
But Noord Oost polder has some more.
I will go for Glider club Noordoostpolder
address Voorsterweg Markenesse
Just east of the National air and spaceflight laboratory.
