Nothing to do with Lincolns, and not Sullom Voe either. On an island, though…
Adrian
Getting close, gents, especially with the suggestion outside England but within the UK…
Adrian
I know you said not a railway, but are they tracks of another kind? I’m thinking of a novel way of getting aircraft into hangers!
Dean.
Relics rather than tracks but yes, a novel way of getting aircraft in and out of hangars.
Adrian
(hurry up, I leave for the weekend at 5!)
Ah-ha. The Spitfire floatplanes were built by Folland – so Hamble?
No, but right train of thought!
By the way, Chris, that loco at Binbrook in your webpage – could it be a Battle of Britain class? That would be apt!
Adrian
Yes!!!
No-ones guessed my two either 🙁
A most unusual Spitfire variant flew from there.
Any help, or should I be less cryptic?
Adrian
(and I don’t recall Ingham at all – maybe I’ve just seen it in my copy of Bowyer, and remembered the funny shape?)
Adrian, are you referring to my post (#110)?
That is the one – I just have to work out where the hell it is!
Speaking of which, anyone want any more clues as to my post #63?
Adrian
Is the second one Horsham St Faith? (now better known as Norwich Airport)
Adrian
It’s going to have to wait until later now. What about my mystery airfield?
Got me stumped!
There is a field someone else has posted – almost square – that I am sure was the subject iof an article in Flypast years ago. Wellingtons, I think. Can I remember the name? Can I hell!
Adrian
That’s annoying now….
I know I am – why do you think I keep posting such googlies? 😀
Adrian
While we are at it… This has appeared on the Forum before, so I’ll set the timer and see how many minutes it takes!
Adrian
UK, but possibly not RAF – not sure without a book to hand!
Any help, or does that muddy the waters more?
Adrian
I’ve not forgotten but I’ve discounted Calshot and Pembroke Dock so am now a bit stuck!
As there is only the two of us playing now (thinks… shall I throw my toys out of the pram? Naaa!) I’ll drop a bigger one.
It’s on an island.
Adrian
Not a guess in mine (post 63) in 24hrs – and I thought after the last guess people were getting warm! Come on chaps, see if you can beat 92fis!
Adrian
Clue? Err… Webpilot was getting close with his last try!
92fis,
are there any airfields in this country your not overly familier with… 😡
sigh
He hasn’t got mine yet! (looks for smug smiley)
Adrian
I’m thinking flying boat base then – Mount Batten?
Best guess so far…
Adrian
