Thank you, Asturias.
And on with the next one.

The roof is Pacific - maybe Tarawa

Hello Threaders

Short intermezzo,

With the start of Mk IV. I was reminded of the Index Excel sheet nvubu has been managing.
Has anybody email contact with nvubu?
I send him a PM but nvubu has not replied nor been on the thread for a week.
I hope he is well.

Anyway,
I started updating the index and like nvubu has said earlier:
It is quite laborious work.
I have now back tracked 2021 (47 challenges up to 16-05)
and I have done May 2019 (just alone 57 challenges, with as excess 11 May with 5 challenges)

I think indeed the pace is more balanced nowadays.

If any one would like to help:
please start from 1st Jan 2020 and give me a PM.

I'll help out while teusje sleeps - not Tarawa, unless there has been massive reconstruction since i was there on Monday to have my first AZ jab. But It does jolt the memory about somewhere I've been in the past and the roof certainly look like one of the PAIP projects. . .Tuvalu?

MJG

Mahe, Seychelles ?

I had a PM from him a few months back saying he was working on an update to the spreadsheet

The Pacific is right, but not Tarawa or Tuvalu.

Open House if correct

descol has declared an Open House.

A bitter-sweet association with Sevilla.......

Sevilla - famous for oranges (and a bloody great Cathedral)

Bitter sweet? another sort of Orange = Tangerine? Bitter because the Spanish and Moroccans are having another spat over the old Spanish Sahara?

Thus perhaps its Tangiers?

Good to hear from you Asturias. You are on right track - sadly wrong Country.

OK - there appears to be some Japanese graffiti on the concrete block behind the aircraft top left - so maybe Satsuma - but that's in land and there isn't an airfield within many miles. Another classic Japanese orange is the Mandarin produced largely in Wakayama prefecture. Doesn't look like Kobe or Kansai so it might be Tokushima Awaodori?

You can't baffle me with long words but I fear Japan is very distant from our aerodrome - altho' we are for sure in the Northern Hemisphere.....

This should be a piece of cake. (Dundee)

This is the earliest image (C.1950s) that I can find of this smallish post-war aerodrome - which in good times has a limited number of scheduled services and a Flying School.

Memorial on Dundee Waterfront.

Love that first photo!
Dundee? OH if correct.
