Silence is golden.
A clue please sabre. It could be remote, disused, abandoned or just plain third world (am I still allowed to say that?). Google isn't helpful thus far on those counts. Given what looks to be a serviceable flag, I think it may still be 'in use'.

The 'old' airport on Montserrat? (probably not as I can't see any volcanic ash, and in any case it's been done before)

Neither Montserrat or Nicosia I am afraid.
The terminal building has it's origins in the "Golden Age"of civil aviation,and the airfield (military) is still operational.
It is said that a certain country's day begins here!

I really don't think this is going to be correct, but that photo makes me think of Castle Bromwich.

Well they look like bi-planes - the hanger gives scale so my guess is Handley Page before they moved - so Cricklewood?
