Thanks Noyade.
Will have to be open house I'm afraid. |

With that very distinctive runway layout and what looks like snow, I’m guessing Canada.
|
yes IFT - it is
|
IF2 - I see you are in Alberta - so - in your Home Country
|
Trenton, Ontario?
|
Doh!
I didn’t spot the hangars at the bottom of the picture! I’ve flown gliders and tow planes out of there many times. Claresholm CEJ4. Built as a primary (note the parallel runways) BCATP airfield during WWII and used again in the 50s to train NATO pilots. Now down to one maintained runway, although some of the others are still usable, with care. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....0dc6605ca.jpeg PS The short white roads are for access to natural gas wells. |
RCAF yes - but not Trenton of Claresholm
|
Hamilton??
|
Not in Ontario
|
Is it still in use? Looks a bit like Penhold, Alberta
|
RCAF station Scoudouc NB? OH if correct
|
Not Penhold but Scoudouc is getting nearer -
|
CFB Greenwood Nova Scotia?
|
Ast - you have gone a little too far south - not Greenwood .
The CFB closed in late 80s |
Summerside PEI?

Yes that’s it - JeffB - Canadian Forces Base Summerside was an air force base located in St. Eleanors, Prince Edward Island, Canada, now part of the city of Summerside. The airfield was constructed by the Royal Canadian Air Force between 1940–1941 and was named RCAF Station Summerside. The airfield was constructed in the typical BCATP wartime pattern, with runways formed in a triangle. In approximately 1942 the aerodrome was listed as RCAF Aerodrome - Summerside, Prince Edward Island. |
Thank you, never been to the Summerside airport, but have enjoyed several visits to the Island, looking forward to going back sometime. In the meantime, OH declared.

Well, it looked awfully like Claresholm until the uncropped runway extensions showed up. 😀
Ive never flown from Summerside. Here’s another runway I’ve never flown from although I came close! 😎 https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....b87228613.jpeg |
