OUAQUKGF Ops 16th Oct 2021 16:55

Yes I can see your first image razor sharp now !

Is this also a clue disguised as pun?
I think a different country and continent?

Very tropical,looking at the houses and the water ...
Rather narrow/rwy,probably private or flying club.....

Lanna Airfield, Thailand?

chevvron 17th Oct 2021 12:12

Playa Del Carmen, Mexico; south of Cancun?

India Four Two 17th Oct 2021 15:26

Sorry for the delay. UV is correct - it’s Lanna Airfield, southeast of Chang Mai.

It must be unique in that there is another airfield (Nok Airfield) immediately to the east, with a runway running north-south, only 300 metres away!

More details about the close proximity of the two airfields in my previous Nok challenge:

UV has control.

OH please...

Here's one that shouldn't prove too difficult

Possibly Green Valley,KGOO,Redding,KRDD,or Porterville KPTV,....or not...

Grass valley
Nevada County Airport?

ea200 20th Oct 2021 15:18

Time having elapsed I am left with a problem. Sycamore's three-in-one mentioned KGOO which it is, but it is not Green Valley. Bear correctly identifies Nevada County Airport commonly known locally as Grass Valley because that is where it is. On balance I think I have to go with Bear. Sorry Sycamore, of your guesses only Grass Valley has trees that close to the runway. I had to look Portaville up though as I have never been there.

Thanks EA200!
I already had the idea that Syca made a typo in the green, green grass of home.
I also recall that the scatter gun approach is not acknowledged a winner until the right one has been singled out.
Now this in the quiz of smoke and mirrors:

My excuse,was trawling ADS-B to see if there was much fire-fighting going -on,as I`d watched a u-tube taken there when the `Paradise` fires were rampant,with about 3 S2Ts really busy....
Yesterday morning (our time) I caught a guy in an AIRtRACTOR ,Crop-spraying for an hour or more 2-4 am Calif.time...12 secs spray,15-18 secs turnaround each end and 60 ft.wide spray lines...MUCH RESPECT...!


I think it`s Eric Brown and Me262 at Farnborough...

chevvron 21st Oct 2021 02:19

RAF ensign by the look of it, but the buikding in the background doesn't look like Farnborough.

Flap40 21st Oct 2021 17:11

To me the clothing and the haircut look too modern to be wartime. I'm wondering if it's either one of the new-build airframes or maybe a film mockup. No idea where though!

Self loading bear 21st Oct 2021 17:35

Not Farnborough.
I doubt that Erik Winkle is in play here.
Not a mock-up but photo is indeed postwar.

Beamr 22nd Oct 2021 05:47

I'm throwing in Wright Field, in case it's one of those transferred to U.S. post-war.
