Well done Chevvron - High Ercall it is. I feared you might be on the trail when you mentioned St Athan - do they have type K Hangars there too ? |
It was those 3 parallel 'L' types; I've driven past them!!
Had to be an MU and it was spread out like the area connecting St Athan and Llandow which had a 'mix of 'K's and 'L/Lamellas'. Open house. |

Not UK markings.

Getting back to the veiled aircraft at High Ercall, I’m guessing a Beaufighter with an early ASV radar, although I haven’t been able to find a picture of a suitable array that matches the shape under the veil.
The shape looks much more like a Lichstenstein array than any British radar I can find. OK, belay all that gibberish above. If I had bothered to follow the 1456 Flight clue, I would have guessed Turbinlight Havoc! :ugh: |
Chevron is correct - this is not the UK - it was being extended when the picture was taken
|
Wild guess Lunga Point/Henderson field/Honiara

Central America?
|
Americas definitely - but a very big stretch to say Central

Looks like a QTpod selfservice station?
Then we are in The Centre of the universe USA? |
Yes in the Land of the Free indeed and the Home of the Brave - but it's a big place :ok:

Let's narrow it down a bit. West of the Rockies? Plenty of Douglas pines in CA.
|
There are also many big trees East of the Rockies - which is where we are here.................
It's not a very big place but is active https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....7d58d19ca0.jpg |

Asturias can you give an indication of other clues can be found in your photos?
I have compiled the following: Not in Iowa and probably north/east of Iowa as Iowa is closer than the Rocky Mountains. Runway probably 60ft wide, and extended (in the last decade?) Nice looking hangar, probably renovated (re-cladded, new door) Self serving avgas station Home? of a Cessna 172N Skyhawk II with a 1978 striping pattern. Perhaps right beside water landing. I have trawled through thousands of Cessna but only one with a matching pattern is a Cessna currently for sale in Australia. I trawled through hundreds of red hangars but apparently nobody proud enough to post it on the internet. I searched for excavator / runway but no succes. I have the idea others have lost interest. |
New Hampshire?
