mutley 4,498 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 :dance: Well done you :yes: It is Perth WA YPPH Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Yay. I did take an hour or two looking...but it was the Southern Cross on the tail of the aircraft that meant it had to be Australia or NZ,... I will post later, as it seems we are going to see if this flypast rehearsal happens today! Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Cheers Phil no rush :yes: Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 A harder one (hopefully) this time. Just the pic to start. Then clues after if needed. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I know when I'm beaten! Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 OK random guess, Geneva LSGG :?: Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
CyprusAirwaysA330 0 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I would of thought that, but the lake isn't right. Besides, Geneva has runway 23, which this one isnt. Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 More pics on their way in a bit, as photobucket's just gone down :yes: Clue: A few days ago in following of a major sporting event you would have landed here. Study all areas of the picture and you will notice a geographical feature we are close to. Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Here's another pic to help... Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 The sporting event can't be Euro 2008 because that was Austria/Switzerland and I can see the sea in the background :neutral: Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Mut, you are correct with the sea. The sporting event is as old as powered flight, but not quite as fast. Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 My money's on David Millar, Phil! Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Ok more clues Phil (I don't need them of course! :mrhappy:) Europe? Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 OK...Dai has the correct sporting event. You can reach this airport by TGV from Paris... Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 C'mon, Phil - see my entry for the Sponsored Screenshot Comp! :mrhappy: Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Dai: (Awesome shot by the way!) However the angle and light is so acutre i can't actually tell whether it is the correct airport or not! Would you mind stating the name/ICAO just to make sure :mrhappy: Apologies for being pedantic Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Now then, Phil - how's about: Hope that pleases the soccer fans amongst us...... Cheers - Dai. p.s. Nice set of cluse, by the way! :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Dai, you are of course, correct! Is that a young Marc Overmars I see on that programme cover? For anyone who didn't know, the Tour De France cycle race had a stange finish in Nantes earlier this week, hence the 'famous sporting event as old as powered flight' Hopefully you can see the sea (Bay of Biscay) in one picture and the river (Loire) in the other.

ddavid 149 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Here we go again - sorry about the delay...... First, a nice clear shot of the place: And a couple of clues: This area has a connection with John Wayne (my first All American Hero - Stagecoach, etc....) People round here use a measure of hands.... Good Luck and Happy Hunting, Fellow Hangarians. :ap: Cheers - Dai. :eyebrow: Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,498 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I couldn't wait. Well I can't believe it would be John Wayne airport KSNA so what about Ocala international KOCF? (But I don't see John taking photos at the fence) :ap: cheers Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Mut, I'm sure you're right. I was on to it right away. John Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 O.K. - but what's the John Wayne connection, Boss? You gotta get that.... :ap: Cheers - Dai. :eyebrow: Link to post Share on other sites
