As BAMRA hasn't officially confirmed that it is in fact Orkney, I Googled it to be sure, and can confirm that it's Hatston.

I assume the reference to it being too dry is aimed at my pic and not the Orkneys

Turin it is not

The Robin inside the hangar and the runway markings have definitely some French touch. Most probalbly Provence or Languedoc (based on the countryside)

Cuers-Pierrefeu, per chance ?

Slight diversion

I need to find info on wartime photos of RAF Stapleford [Tawney]? Does anyone have any pics of the airfield during WW2 please? However tatty or faded.....

Unlucky for some it got hit twice by V-2s.

Thanks in advance for links or pics.
