hello_basil 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Is it somewhere in France, as the title is "Part Deux", with "Deux" meaning Two in French? :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites

dgor 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Belfast George Best City Airport (EGAC), Belfast, Norn Iron, United Kingdom, Europe, Earth, The Milky Way, The Universe. It's be a right laugh if I was wrong now after all that :mrhappy: But I recognise the airport layout and parts of the Titanic Quarter. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,488 Posted May 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Well done Dave, you got one at last :mrhappy: Would you like a go now? Or do you want me to post another? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
dgor 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 I'd love a go Mut, waited since the forum started for this! :blush On the condition, of course, that I don't post a single airstrip in the middle of Fermanagh which is then inadvertantly almost guessed by Fred :wink: :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,488 Posted May 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 He he!! Go for for it buddy! Link to post Share on other sites
dgor 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Here we are then. Nice detailed scenery this, albeit at a very minor airport that we see very rarely in screenshots. No clues yet but if there's nobody getting warm by tomorrow I'll give you some (because I'm so nice). I'll leave you to mull over that one for a while. I actually fancy doing a flight to here now :mrhappy: Dave Link to post Share on other sites
mulletman 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 I beleve its a sceneried-up version of somewhere we have already had...TJSJ, San Juan, Puerto Rico. Is this the scenery? Looks quite good. http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=66368 Link to post Share on other sites

dgor 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Bugger :mrhappy: Silly me :blush Yes Fred, that is the scenery. Link to post Share on other sites
mulletman 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Bugger :wink: Silly me :blushYes Fred, that is the scenery. :mrhappy: It was the runways that gave it away. Quite a strange looking airport. The fact that i flew right over it oin my way into SXM this week didnt help either. Will get some new ones up ASAP, although i fear it may not be until tomorrow morning. Link to post Share on other sites
dgor 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 No problem Fred, looking forward to them :-) Link to post Share on other sites
mulletman 0 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Right sorry this took a little while. No commentry, although i will add it as clues if this isnt guessed by tomorrow. I have a feeling that either someone will do a quick bit of math and get this quickly, or this is going to run. Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 9 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Ascension island per chance? Link to post Share on other sites
mulletman 0 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Ascension island per chance? Bugger, figured it would either go really quickly or take a week. It is Ascension, or FHAW, Ascension Island Base formerly Wideawake Airfield to be exact. The clues are there if you look hard enough. (the name of the file, the aircraft type and number, the colour balance of shots) Off you go then. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,488 Posted May 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Good guess Martyn, I think that was where I was headed :mrhappy: Great shots Fred :???: Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 9 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 The only reason I guessed was: -Its a small island -It has a large runway .... so must be of military use -You are using a Vulcan, Ascension island being the staging area for the bombing runs over to the Falklands -My dad used to visit Ascension island with the RAF, so I have prior knowledge of the base. Great choice for this though, I doubt many people would have guessed such a remote airfield! Link to post Share on other sites

Great choice for this though, I doubt many people would have guessed such a remote airfield! had i seen these pics earlier i'd have beaten you to it Martyn, having ID'd it in less than a few seconds of seeing the first shot - flew from there in the trusty Vickers Valiant on my way to Port Stanley for a recce before a Vulcan flight with JF's Vulcan (i was going to fly XM607) just a couple hours before Mullets original post!! the island isn't very well depicted in those shots however, and 'Wideawake' looks very different to what's seen in the pictures - that's MS for you though, skimping on the detail for the sake of a few FPS.

Martyn 9 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Sounds like a good flight simi! Those V-Bombers certainly are great My girlfriends dad used to fly the Victor in the RAF, its always interesting to hear stories from the good old days Link to post Share on other sites
