Stavanger, Norway?
Stavanger (Sola) airport as it was in early 1952 with Comet G-ALZK there for de-icing trials.
(For obvious reasons I erased "Stavanger" from the billboard alongside "Lufthavn").

Sorry, not Vientienne.

Some might, however argue that there COULD be a somewhat tenuous connection with 'my' picture.

Would the connection be an operator that used Vientienne?

Yes, that's it AAO, Aguacate Honduras, one of the bases used by Oliver North and his colleagues to supply the Contras in Nicaragua- I shouldn't have got cocky and given that clue so soon should I!

You have the floor.

Almost..... Only got MS Paint on this PC but a certain amount of evidence (obviously the last 2 of the registration but also the aircrafts name & a sign with the airports name) has been removed.

It's somewhere that often features in the news.....

I thought it might be Jask, Iran, but the trees lead me to believe it is Gaza, Palestine.
