Hmm, it's been a time but it looks like Ohrid LWOH. And I sure know the type out of of which this pic was taken

AN2 driver- I suspect you can work out the type blindfolded as to the airfield though, wrong I'm afraid

True enough, must go and do that again sometime soon. Great plane and good fun to fly.

Best regards

I've noticed that one has appeared at our local airfield(EDFC)- must make enquires as to the possibilities of a hop...

This'll probably be my last photo for a bit as I'm off to the UK, then France for a month as of thursday am. Hopefully someone will get this one before I go, otherwise you'll be on tenterhooks until I get to a comuter again

KMG 365- Congratulations, it certainly is!

I flew in a Blanik there with a mate of mine- The roughest aerotow and landing I've ever experienced...but the soaring was good though

Very friendly lot there

My ex Olympia 2B flies there too

Here are acouple more pics of Grobnik, near Rijecka, Croatia:






One or two of interest to AN2 driver there

Sorry, onb. It's not Shoreham.

Not in Asia either, Andy.

Here's a hint:

The body of water in the background is the Atlantic Ocean.

Well done Bri. It is indeed Heston, I almost said it would be easy and this time I was right. By rights you have control, however I see that LFT has posted one already.
LFT, I see this was only your second post, it is the thread rule that to post a new challenge you have to solve the current challenge.
