I wonder if this is outside the UK? I first thought of Lossie/Kinloss area given the coastline, but it doesn't look as agricultural and populated as the UK usually does.

Looks as if the aerodrome might be in the process of being dismantled - a lack of buildings, and plant working along the far runway. Abandoned after WW2? It's the classic 3 runways pattern. The b+w photo might be 1950-60's vintage, any later more likely to be colour. Is that the line of perhaps an original grass strip at the upper left? A road and possibly a settlement towards the sea.

The near landscape looks to be vegetated sand dunes so maybe not the channel coast, which is usually shingle.

Is that a VOR below the intersection?

Off to google earth....
