Is there anybody familiar with NZOU Oamaru Airport that can tell me what the numbered items are in this Google pic ??.......................
I suspect #4 is the Aeroclub building, but i would like confirmation, and to find out what the other 3 numbered structures are.



Thanks,

Thanks Todd,............every little bit helps.
I figured #2 was a tower of some sort, from the small long distance grainy pic ive got of it,.... but i just wanted to make sure.
#1 a house, ????.......... ok, i was thinking it was a shed of some sort, from the same grainy long distance pic ive got of the tower.
#4....... i thought the light coloured roof in the pic i posted was maybe the aero-club ??? I know the dark coloured roof beside it is a hanger......
Im picking that #3 is just some small sheds of some kind,.............. if i cant find any more pics from anywhwere, i'll just have to go with what i think they are.

the building with the white strips in the roof at #1 very similar to a skyline garage and the dark object just below it I believe is a large tree but not sure what's next to that. For #2 it is a tower, it sits 1 storey above the terminal. If you did one like Touho but made it white you'd be pretty close.
#3 are just small sheds possibly associated with a met office weather station and #4 is indeed a hangar.

Thank-you so very much.
You have confirmed my suspicions on all of the above.

From memory, the white building attached to the hangar (no.4) is the North Otago Aero Club building. Not sure if they still exist however....

Can anybody that may be familiar with NZOU Oamaru Airport tell me what the big circular object is on the LEFT-HAND edge of this Google pic is, as indicated by the Yellow Arrow ???
Is it a large tank of some sort, or perhaps a sewage oxidation pond ??
Also, how many of them are there, and are there any buildings of any kind on the site ???

As the title of the pic says........."Oamaru_Aerodrome_1989",........... so i guess it was taken in 1989.
Thanks anyway, but ive got this pic already.

All i need to do is figure out what those circilar things in the bottom left of the picture that i posted above are.
If i cant find out what they are in the next couple of days, i will just have to leave that area in the scenery blank, and finish off the rest of it.

Lawrie, I've an aerial photo map of the airport, showing that the circular objects are just some sort of dirt patches in the ground, no buildings or tanks on that particular ground at all.
