OK, I'll start it with a very wild guess: South Caicos?

Not South Caicos.

When that photo was taken (getting on for 40 years ago) there were only about 60 flights pa. I think its fair to say the field is somewhat more busy these days! As can be imagined the facilities are a bit less primitive as well.

Narssuaq in Greenland?

I can't decide if the "white stuff" on the ground is salt/sand or snow. Also, are those all clouds or is there a ruddy great hill in the distance?

Sid has it, Diego Garcia. Tower around 1971 before the airfield was redeveloped by the Americans.

With you Sid.

Indeed,India Four Two.
The airfield is in China,but now operational only to G.A. traffic. At least, this was the case up to 2006, when I lasted visited. Still visible on Google though.
