While you're pondering the above, here's another, sightly easier one:

Both "further west, my son!" ;) The 707 was taken from the ground, not at a capital city airport...

You skipped the best clue ... and somewhere where the sky is blue.

....Winton?

Winton! That's only just a tad west of LRE
How about Kalgoorlie, is that too far west

Warmer! I'm surprised Griffo can't work it out...

Meekatharra?

How about an airshow at Northam many years ago?

Spot on, Duncan! Well done. The 747 was at the Northam airshow, October 1976.

The earlier 707 ("in the blue sky", obviously not over Melbourne :E) was at the Pearce airshow in April 1977. Also doing beatups were:

The reason I remember this is that I was one of the ATCs on duty at Northam that day. I bet it's never seen a 747 that low since. The guy did 2 passes, one clean at a higher speed, the other configured and slow (the image above).


From memory, the day was also marred when a PA28 went into trees of the end of the runway.


Looking at the F28 pic reminds me of MMAs Sid Goddard and Jack Murray, both of whom used to revel in displaying the F28 whenever they could.

Can anyone guess this airstrip ?
