Name that Airport

[guamainiac]

Ahhhhh, so I can release the barrister from his retainer? That Rumpole cost a shilling and two pence.

I suppose we were naming the same strip but I used the French "Google map" for the name.


The two island runways of this coastal strip will probably never, unlike France, be known for the wine.

[guamainiac]

Across the pond and a popular retreat from the masses, though large quantities of the finest vintages were undoubtedly consumed here it is most probable not a bottle was locally produced?

[wrxflyer]

Just a wild guess: Nice-Cote d'Azur Airport?

[guamainiac]

Since this is a very Euro based site I tried to be PC and "Euro Centric" and of course blew it.

I meant across the pond toward me. Sorry.

But, nothing to whine about right?

[guamainiac]

Your flight plan would probably take you across this bay, named for birds, though not of prey, they are birds of opportunity.

A near by island was the subject of a ribald classic limerick.

The Limerick.....did it involve keeping cash in a bucket ?

[guamainiac]

Never heard that version but your key rhyme scheme with "bucket" is spot on.

[brianw999]

I think the penny just dropped............

There once was a man from Nantucket

Who kept all his cash in a bucket.

But his daughter, named Nan,

Ran away with a man

And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

So Nantucket Island is nearby.

So is Buzzards Bay which I might fly over, Buzzard = a bird of opportunity.

Wine is made from grapes in a vineyard.

Oh look !......Martha's Vineyard, where the US president spends a lot of time relaxing. 2 runways on an island.

So....Martha's Vineyard Airport is my answer.

[guamainiac]

Bingo, even though I cited the ribald version

PM sent.

Your play.

[brianw999]

William and German get together at this airport!

[brianw999]

In this case William is rather short ?

[brianw999]

Short version of William. What you get at the end of a restaurant meal..., and, German.

...but the airport is not in Germany.

[guamainiac]

Short of Will would be Bill and ..

[Petertenthije]

Webequie Airport near Billinger lake?

[brianw999]

First part with Bill is right. Now you need the second part.

And.........German ?
