wisemanp 0 Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 O.K So as with the Boss, I am on the laptop and have no sim on here... so went for the view you'd get on departure at about 5400 ft. Clue 1. Part of this airport's name is linked in some way to the current takeover of British chocolate firm Cadbury's. Link to post Share on other sites
mike H 456 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I am still working at it. Phil is it in the UK. Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I am still working at it. Phil is it in the UK. It is not in the UK Clue 2. The colour of the rooftops may help you determine which country it's in. Link to post Share on other sites
rob16584 42 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Could it be Bremen aiport? EDDW. I can't see how it links into Cadbury/Kraft so i'm probably wrong Link to post Share on other sites
simi_av8r 0 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Could it be Bremen aiport? EDDW. I can't see how it links into Cadbury/Kraft so i'm probably wrong Well, if memory serves, Bremen is home to HQ of the 'Jacobs' coffee, and 'Jacobs' is a Kraft brand name, so i think you might have it. Johann Jacobs founded what was to become one of Europe's leading coffee companies in Bremen, Germany, in 1895. Link to post Share on other sites
Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Bremem Airport is correct. Not only does it look like that Airport, but the Kraft Foods Company is directly linked to there. Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Sorry guys, it's a different Kraft subsidiary you need! You are, however, within (anything to the power of 0) degrees of longitude. Link to post Share on other sites
mike H 456 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Bremem Airport is correct.Not only does it look like that Airport, but the Kraft Foods Company is directly linked to there. Sorry Guys I have just flown out of Bremen and its not the right one. As it has two runways also the taxiways are not the same. Link to post Share on other sites
mike H 456 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Sorry Phil I missed you reply. Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Well as things have slowed up a little... Another clue that might give it away. Take the noun that, in its native language, could be the Matterhorn, Eiger or Jungfrau. This is the first part of the airport name. Link to post Share on other sites
Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Is it Berg Airport EDQD? Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 You're all in the right continent... This airport is often described as the third airport for a large city in this country. Link to post Share on other sites

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Torrejon Airport, I'd say is wrong, as a quick look at Google Maps says it's got 4 runways. Could be wrong **EDIT** I am wrong, looking at the wrong airport Think you right **EDIT** Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Wrong country still! The city of this airport may take the fancy of your wives and girlfriends for a shopping trip... Link to post Share on other sites
