  • Given the proximity of a nearby theme park, might this airport have been built of plastic bricks ?

        That's the one. Bill is short for William and und is German for and. The plastic bricks refer to the Lego theme park nearby.

        • Next one a bit cryptic:

          "Was it really James Bond that was downed by the fighters here?"

              I have not got a clue what you are on about, suffice to say it ain't LAX.

              Next clue then? "From Russia with(out?) love".

                    • Dolinsk-Sokol airbase from which the Sukhoi SU 15 that shot down Korean Airlines KAL 007 originated ?

                      007 = James Bond.

                      ...alternatively, Smirnykh Airbase from which the MIG 23's involved in the same incident originated ?

                        • Excellent deduction Sir.

                          My guess came from the scene where Bond escapes the crematorium in Diamonds are Forever. He is flown in "dead" in a casket .. so the cryptic ..

                          • Staying with the James Bond theme....

                            The person that this airport is named after lived in an estate named after one of the movies.

                              My father in law used to work for "Charlie" Engelhard who was said to be the inspiration for Goldfinger though some say it was to spite his neighbor of the same name. He said he was constantly bringing his dogs to work and was quite a character.
