Does anyone remember....

[ozbeowulf]

...that link to a site with good vintage photos of airfields and aircraft? It was posted sometime in the last few months. It may have been in a scenery-related thread.... or may not.

I lost a batch of bookmarks when my HDD crashed a few weeks ago, including this one I'd really like to re-locate for scenery research purposes. I've searched both this forum and the old forum , but no luck so far.

I think the site had "global" in the name and it may have been old editions of an aviation magazine. Not that those vague thoughts helped in my search.

If anyone can point me to the site or the thread where it was posted, I'd appreciate it very much.

Thanks,

Glenn

Hi Glenn,

Might have been in a thread Adrian Werner (our house historian) started up or contributed to. I'll have a search too.

Cheers,

Thanks, Maarten.

Good idea!

Thanks, Tom...

Good sources there, and some were new to me.

I'm still digging for the site I remember, though. I think it was searchable archives for some publication, perhaps a British magazine or multi-volume book set. There were pix of old colonial airports, IIRC.

Cheers,

Glenn

I don't recall seeing this site posted before but may be mistaken:

www.mcguinnessonline.com/burt/flyingboat.htm

Some nice Boeing Clipper and Connie pics.

Also, featuring Curacau, KLM and Connies but I think we have been linked to this site before:

Ah, you mean this one:

www.flightglobal.com/staticpages/archive.html

Go to the Flight Magazine Archives, but look at the other two as well.

Hope this helps,

No doubt about it, Tom, you ARE the man!!

That's it and thank you very much!

Thanks to Maarten and Chris_C, too.

What a great bunch of guys we have here. No wonder it feels like home.

Cheers,

If you have the time to spare try this huge thread. It's a guess the airport quiz forum. Good stuff elsewhere same site.

Hopefully of interest to others 'though.

I think I recall the one called "Abandoned Airfields" coming up from time to time - on rereading I see it's on Tom's list but this site seems popular. (www.airfields-freeman.com/)

Seems to be mainly USA. For the UK try;- www.oldairfields.fotopic.net/

There is one I keep stumbling on for the Pacific but can't seem to find it.
