Need help identifying locations of these airfields

28 Apr 2017 10:47 - 09 May 2017 08:44 #1 by dochertyt
Hi all,

I came across these photos which I took years ago (stored in my attic). I was able to identify most of the airfields in the bunch but these one have me stumped. So long ago now and I have long lost the notes I took at the time. Any ideas? each one is numbered so please put it in your answer. Only respond if you are sure of the location of the image please, it will save trawling through to get the right answer from all the possibles and perhaps's. Many thanks.

Tom According to posts below this may be Madley? According to posts below this could be High Ercall guardroom?

The photo ID number can be found by hovering over each photo.

I know the OP wants definitive answers, but I reckon that the Hinaidi hangar is Madley.

You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!

Could the picture of the Wardens Office, REQD673, be the entrance to the MU site at Ternhill. The building has gone but the layout looks similar.

Looking closer at REQD888 I think it could be Brize Norton. Taken on approach to runway 26. The large building to the right of the picture is Base Hangar, and the lighter building to the left of it is probably the terminal. You can see the two L type hangars, near the 26 threshold, on the left in the middle distance.

Thanks, would that be the hangar numbered 5 on photo 672?

I think you might be right Ian. It does look more like High Ercall, I forgot about there when I was going through the list of possible MU's.

I've also looked at 888 and 889 again. I don't think they are Brize after all, There seems to be a group of 3 L type hangars together. Possibly Colerne, but I'm not sure. High Ercall also had 2 groups of 3 L types, and as does Cosford , but neither of them look quite right. These are some good challenging pictures.

Could 892 be Chedworth?

Don't think it is High Ercall, the lamps on the gate posts of the High Ercall image in the link to google earth do not match 673 and there is a difference in the number of steps at the guardroom entrance?
