Ciarain's got it.

Mokmer airport on Biak Island in the former Netherlands New Guinea, now Irian Jaya province of Indonesia.

I don't know which RNAF squadron N-222 belongs to, but I think I can see the sawtooth LE and the outboard hardpoint of an F6.

My reference to Silhouettes was the two Bird of Paradise outlines on the concrete structure in front of the terminal. Biak is famous for its Birds of Paradise.

The carefully obfuscated street sign in the foreground says "Dr Albert Plesmanplein". Albert Plesman was one of the co-founders of KLM.

Over to you, KK.

PS Peter Falk is probably in the Morris Minor waiting for a suspect to arrive

PPS Concerning Hunters, I saw the famous 22 aircraft loop at Farnborough in 1958. I didn't realise how special it was at the time.
