Hi all

While scanning some prints this afternoon I came across some of my Hong Kong stuff. I tooks quite a few photographs inflight, including the two linked below. I've looked back some notes that I wrote inflight but cannot locate what this airport is. All I know is that they were taken between India and Bangladesh. Really rough scans but would be great if someone could help me locate. I've tried Google World but there is so much to look at there.

Any help?

As an incentive I will offer an A4 print of any of my images for the first person to identify

Gary,

I just spent 15 minutes looking through Google Earth, all along India and Bangladesh, but couldn't make out the airport you photographed. But I'm sure someone will find it though.

Cheers,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian

Thanks. Tried that myself but didn't find anything either.

Looks like some small airport or maybe even military. Doesn't look like anything on the ramp. A big bridge connecting another piece of land so looks as if it is used quite a bit.

I'll keep looking too.

Regards

Gary

Hi Gary,

I too am following many waterways in this part of the world to see if I can help (I owe you a few favours    ). There is no doubt that there is a lot of water in that part of the world!

Can you let me know what route you were flying. Have you tried it on the basis of looking for appropriate airways?

All the best.

Paul

Gary,

As a start, which direction were you flying in? And what side of the plane were you sat on? The key to identifying it I think lies in the two rivers coming together and the bridges - very distinctive shapes!

Tim.

Hi all

Sorry guys. Will look at my log to see if I can help.

Was flying East towards Hong Hong.....from Amsterdam.

Regards

Gary

If you were flying East, then judging by the shadows, that shot is looking broadly to the North. Crikey this is a tough one  

Tim.

Gary,

Don't know about the name, but it is near Wuzhou in China.

Have a look on Google Earth and it is a perfect fit, you can even see the airstrip  

Tim.

Tim

Ooooh, could be. Let me have a look.

Gary

Tim

Can't find Wuzhoh

Gary

Gary, it's a few miles East of Guangzhou, just follow the river.

Tim.

Edit: It's a few miles WEST of Guangzhou:D

Awesome job Tim.

Congratulations Tim - I think you've won the prize.

As for your geography Gary...............   .

Paul

P.S. How did you ever find that Tim?

Well done Tim   

Fergul   

Paul check your messages in your profile mate.

Hi all

Yes, Tim has won the prize  

Good work and didn't take long for you to trace. Send me a mail with what image you want.

I did get 'O' Grade Geography at school...........need to brush up on it I think

Regards

Gary

Very kind of you Gary, will take a look through your work and drop you a line. I have been doing a bit more detective work, which has proved a pain since it's in China, but I'm fairly sure now the airport is Wuzhou-Changzhoudao WUZ/ZGWZ.

Quoting Psych (Reply 14): How did you ever find that Tim?

I started with the Great Circle Mapper and went on from there with Google Earth.

Tim.

Wow Tim...
I didn't know you were Chinese or from the outer world!
Amazing....
