That's Dinard.

Seems to be the first letters of 'Ramstein' behind the aircraft?

Thats observation for you, even I had not noticed that and i took the photograph!

It was indeed a very wet 'Flugtag Ramstein' and the designer 'yellow mac' was iniversally popular throughout europe, except for the UK. Despite a cloudbase of but a few hundred feet, the Red Arrow Hawks arrived on mass and completed an ultra low level break in every which way on arrival.

Oh for the days when there were no crowd barriers between aircraft and spectator in the static park.


Phileas Fogg You have control

Tha abundance of Russian aircraft indicates Eastern Europe or a fomer Soviet state, and although it could be an old photograph, it looks too drab for the former East Germany. To narrow down our searches, is it Albania?

The 737? on the left could be a Ukraine International aircraft, on home soil?

Not Albania, not Ukraine. I think it is a Lufthansa 737.
