Don’t think I ever met her.

Found a pic on Googlemaps, yup, the south eastern end is somewhat raised above the airfield level - not that any of it is particularly flat!

I'll accept any answer with "Bird" in it, Mel.
Twas the Bird CK.

Over to you...

After so long, is there Open House, or are the 24-hour rules different upon these pages?
Russ

I send Mel a PM. Please give it another 24 hrs.

If multiple posters agree that Mel is probably not going to post a challenge, we can agree on open house. (You and I is already multiple).

The 24 hour rule doesn't apply to OH - it's to stop rapid posting that leaves people in different time zones left out of the flow IIRC.


has anyone PM'd him?

I'll do it

Thanks guys, I'll get onto it.

Relatively small aircraft but with a rather snazzy triple bladed prop so optimised for performance (or just to look good)

I'd guess American?

Uhuh.

French?

Stylish enough to be so, but no.

Look to lesser known aviation-pruducers.
Numbers built not obvious but clearly a respectable quantity, given its various roles.

European then?

the roof of the cockpit looks quite.. different - but its not an angle you often see

Nor european either.

this is tough..................... E of Suez?

Look, it isn't American or European so ot pretty much has to be E of Suez. At least, the Turks and Gyppos never made a babe like this.
So where is it from?
More pics forthcoming if requrired.

KC-100 Naraon maybe

Yes, KC-100 Naraon from South Korea!
