Where is this?

Postby AerBabe » Sat Dec 22, 2012 2:41 pm

I took this photo of a photo at an airfield last weekend... but it's not the place it was taken at. Anyone know where it is?

Bonus points available if you can tell me where I took the picture. :D

Was on another forum several months ago; I think it was in Ukraine but I can't remember the name.

... maybe even more bonus points for explaining the connection. ie why is a large aerial photo of this airfield being displayed at the place I visited?

It's not Greenham Common. Too many trees to the North East.

I reckon you were at a concrete plant when you took it.

And I suppose you want us to tell you where you were when you took the photo? Must have been a good party :drunken:

The "patio" paving of the apron and taxiways is very Warsaw pact. Where did you get the photo?

Not Ockham by any chance?

Well, Warsaw Pact style aprons and runway markings look a bit different to normal, slightly odd angle to the photo - perhaps a Chipmunk spy flight photo from when they used to do the 20-mile orbit of Berlin?

Nope, it's been a few years since I did any dining-in. Hung up my part-time blues a few years ago now.

[Cue: RobP posting that photo. :roll: ]
