An extra "e" makes all the difference! :)

Whiteman Airport, Pacoima in the San Fernando Valley.

CC, there's an interesting connection with my post. Whiteman is featured in an episode of Bosch, a very good LAPD "police procedural" on Amazon Prime. In another episode, I heard the appellation "Lost Wages", which was new to me.

descol has the con.

Thanks India
I will brush up on my spelling
'Lost Wages' - have not heard that one
Open House

May I have a go chaps?

I was going to say Western Australia, being sure it was somewhere I'd flown in to. Then I spotted your location "on BA58/59" so after a rethink, I'm going to open the bidding with - South Africa.

What say you Towering Cu?

BSD.

I would say BA59 has taken you to the correct country Sir!

Stellenbosch? FASH.

BSD....on the money Sir

Stellenbosch airfield, Western Cape. Built in 1974, first with a grass runway 18/36, now with 790m of tarmac 01/19 (same directions as its local big brother, Cape Town International, FACT). I believe a first appearance on this thread.

Perhaps the most beautiful airfield in Southern Africa....and there is a fair bit of competition

Over to you BSD

Yay! You are right T-Cu: lovely spot.

Try this everyone, shouldn't be too demanding but enjoy the picture!

Cockthorpe near Stiffkey in Norfolk - going to be at Wells in 2 weeks time.......

nice picture

More commonly known as Langham.

TCU, in the small trio of pictures you presented in # 468 , there is a high wing twin engined aircraft visible, with a double tail fin. Whayt type could that be?

Could that be a retired SAAF Shackleton?

Indeed. SAAF Shackleton 1719, although it has long since left the airfield.

We do however have a rather lovely DH Vampire FB.52 (214) and a Mirage F1 CZ (207), both ex SAAF, on static display

With 24 hours now pretty much elapsed, I can declare: Langham it is but Cockthorpe will do for me too.

Asturias, enjoy your time in Norfolk, if you haven't visited the Langham Dome (only just out of view in the picture at mid-right side) a nicely done museum, won't take too much time but well worth a visit.

I leave it to either of you two (Asturias or OAUQUKGF) to post the next challenge.

Interesting side note for connoisseurs: both TCu's (subsequent) and my picture feature Tiger Moths.

Cheers all,

Do you want to post Asturias ? Otherwise I'll put an easy one on in the morning.........

I was going by location - I couldn't find the old name

I have this one - a long way from N Norfolk...
