Are those airships in the background? (Not "their airships")

Crikey indeed! Well done my Lord! :ok:

I'll let the caption do the explaining...

We have an Open House situation.

The last U.S. Navy 'K' Class Patrol Airship was retired in 1959.

Gone a bit quiet so here's another:

Looking at those buildings I would say Germany.

RAF?

Yes, no. ;)...........

Butzweilerhof. And it was RAF 1951-1967.

Now, that's neither clever nor quick of me!!

And if you'd also posted this GI of the place, most RAF aircrew would've got it immediately!

Sorry but I have to ask; what have a load of sheep got to interest RAF aircrew?

Cuefaye is right, I wasn't sure what how to answer the RAF question without making it too easy or alternatively misleading anyone hence the ;)

I knew it was RAF later but it wasn't at the time of the pic.

Do tell us how the sheep fit in with the RAF (surely not the other way round!)

They don't, but do with the navy. :E

Is it in Wales? :)

Wales and Wellies come to mind!

Open House chaps.

Nice one evansb - I can't think where that might be!

Er is it in Germany?

It must be the sun!

Wasn't really a challenge. Just photos of more sheep at German aerodrome, specifically Tempelhof.

Already on Mel's list, but probably not this particular shot...

Hmmmm....just checked it against Google Image and the SOB can still recognise the airport from a different direction.

Top left...

Amazing!

I'll try a different image and another part of the world...

That's the Lake Hood seaplane base at Anchorage International. The Alaska Aviation Museum now occupies the pennensula on the right side of the picture.

Well done mate. Your control. :ok:

Even though it is a holiday, I'm off to work. Don't think it's fair to make everyone wait 8 hours so...open house. If there is no posting by later today, I'll get something in.

C2j

I'll chuck this in as open house:

French,Naval..?

Neither I'm afraid

Bandirma, Turkey.

OH

Spot on :ok:

It looks like open house - so try this - LFH

Craw Field, Port Lyautey, French Morocco

Yet another GI ---

Well bless my soul Qfay. I had tested it against GI and came up nil, but not wishing to doubt your claim, I looked again. Discovered after a while that there are more ways than 1 of skinning a google image. Learn something new every day !

Craw Field, Port Lyautey, French Morocco (Africa ;)) it is -
1944 - Blimpron-14 at Anchor.

First traverse of the Alantic by blimp in mid 44. They imposed a magnetic U-boat barrier across the entrance to the Med. MAD detection at 75 to 100 feet - PBYs by day, Blimps by night.

I think the dispersal and blimps are just visible in WAD Mark 1 page 173 post 3450, though its been built over since then.

Cuefaye - You have control

Sorry - off to Lincolnshire for an Aden re-union. Open House chaps.

I honestly don't expect this to last long...

Sorry mate, couldn't resist this one purely based on the aircraft which I thought was a Bellanca 14-23 Cruisair. Played with the words "hanging" and "suspended" and came up with Charlotte Airport?

But apparently it's a Bellanca 14-9L Junior Cruisair...

AKA the "Cardboard Connie" :) - LFH

Bet it's heavier than cardboard! :)
I wonder if that would be an OH&S issue, hanging above the public like that?

(Who was that guy (a King?) who was invited to tea and at the end of the meal told to look up and there was sword above him, held in place by a single strand of hair? Well, I think that was the story...)

Looking again, one is painted yellow, the other white and the steel ceiling beams appear different?

Correct! Charlotte - Douglas International Airport.

The Bellanca 14-9L is owned by the Carolinas Aviation Museum and hangs in terminal D. It was flown by State Airline - established in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1945/6. The existance of State Airline delayed the initiation of airline service by Piedmont Airlines by at least one year. Piedmont eventually merged with U.S. Air to become USAirways - now American.

The challenge foes to Noyade.

C2j

Thanks mate. It was the Bellanca that helped.
It's getting harder and harder to defeat GI mate. Here goes...

http://i41.tinypic.com/jt7979.jpg

Wild but educated guess, Walker AFB, Roswell, New Mexico?

From the row of hangars, looks familiar.

Very early C-130 Hercules. I'd guess Yokota AFB, Japan.

Poor image, so I'll risk a 1000 pixels...

It's dated 28th October 1967 and we're in the State of California. I couldn't see it in Mel's list, but sometimes name changes occur. I'll check with Wiki later.
