NAAS PUNGO..abandoned WWII Airfield

I wonder if the flat tires come standard with that bird. Nazi air must be uber-thin per Hitler's order...

It is much better than British air! Weighs less, and takes up less space!

Good photos ASTAC.  I love derelict airfields; I have a real fascination of how things once were and in some cases trying to imagine over 1000 personnel working there!  Near where I lived in England the area was littered with former RAF bomber & 9th AF airfields.

Here's an interesting link where you can select an area of the UK.  It then lists all the airfields, including all WW1 & WW2, by airfield name.  If you click on the airfield name it opens up Multimap and shows an aerial photograph of every airfield.  You can make out some airfield runways/taxiways easy but others you have to look a tiny bit harder! :)

I too have a fascination with old airfields..I went on google earth and marked out all the ones around my home town..some you can still tell where they were.
Branan Field was the most interesting..unfortunatelyt it was built over recently..but you can still barely see the Octogon outline of some of it.
