(Could've sworn I'd seen an entry for Farnborough yesterday..... am I going blind, stupid, both or was it deleted?)

But in this photo there is an unusually small triangle of grass between the 3 runways and whilst between Farnboro's 4 runways there are a couple of small triangles the runway directions do not seem to match this photo.
If memory serves the route was Skylark ( Clearbrook) - Royal Oak ( Meavy) - Leg O'Mutton ( in your picture) then Milton Combe.There's a similar route in Timisoara. Here is the next offering - I do not expect it to be unduly taxing.
Hopefully that will work...

That was it, the Leg O'Mutton, there was also the George on the traffic lights by PLH airport, got snowed in at the airport one night so had to half hinch a crash wagon to drive across the airfield and jump over the fence to the George, the locals just laughed, they had seen the blue lights coming across the airfield and wondered what was happening

Just a quick post to apologise for going AWOL over the last few days. I thought I would have t'interweb access but things didn't go quite to plan. evansb et al were quite right to press on! For the record, my previous challenge was indeed Greenham Common, 1942-style.

I'm guessing here as much as Phileas, but trying to apply some narrowing down,
There's nothing up close enough for vegetation or cultural clues.
The serrated ridge looks volcanic, and menacing! One wonders if this airport has perhaps since been relocated. The photo looks to be taken from an old transparency, so maybe 1960's vintage.
Constrained airfield site, so perhaps an island or a small coastal state ringed by mountains? Carribean?
