Aerodrome in a river.

Recommended Posts

Apr 1917

 

The coordinates:

 

N51 * 29' 22. 7293"

E0 * 24' 33. 8928"

 

In a river, or somebody put it up on a flood-plain and they've been caught out by the torrential rain.

I thought that the Royal Engineers were supposed to be diverting rivers like that???

Got a squad /date siggi?

 

April 4th 1917 to be precise. I'm flying with RFC 56, out of Walmer (UK). The aerodrome in question isn't mine, I came across it while tootling around near London.

I can vouch for this observation. It's in the Thames estuary, looks like it should've been on a nearby island AFAIK tell.

I saw it a while back when I decided to fly across the channel for a pint in my favourite pub one lazy day in the RNAS, but didn't think anyone would care since it was out of the action...

This brings up a question since OFF3 came out (and why I had to fly across the channel to take my wife for a spin over London... she's a cheap date :smile: ), how does one do the quick tourist flights like you used to be able to do in OFF2? Remember that menu item?
