Not totally confident but looks not too dissimilar to Walkers Key in the Bahamas, waiting to be corrected

The shadows in the airfield are of a much lower sun angle compared to the resort hotel.

The aircraft is lit from the left. the shadow is to the right....wrong side for the ground shadows.....

Also suspect rather tooooo short for the aircraft too.....

I suggest it's not even a real island. Clever CGI perhaps...and I'm not talking about the plane. Runway with faint precision markings awfully short and with trees at both ends? Why so many taxiways? I'm sure the 5X will be a nice machine but c'mon...perhaps it's just a fly past to announce that they have arrived. "Boss...de plane, de plane!!"

Sorry I'm late on the thread Guys!
Thanks for posting Damien.
Yes, I think I agree that it's a "Photo-shop Island".
Boss saw it in the brochure and wanted to know where it was.............
I'll tell him it's Tracy Island then.........Brilliant!
Of course, if somebody DOES know where it is that would be great.
Thanks (as always) Guys,
Jez

Actually it looks a bit like Gan (maldives), but with the domestic poohole bit to the right removed.

F.A.B:ok:

It's not Tracy Island, its Canvey Island, put it in Googlie Earth. F.A.B, Spectrum is green.

No it's not Gan (we were there this New Year!).
What do you reckon of the idea that it's a real island with a runway photo-shoped onto it maybe??
Would still love to know the island though.........................

Apart from the giant windsock I would say the runway is real, although maybe shortened to fit, where is it??
