As A-Floor said, it's Valkenberg. It used to have P-3's but has now closed. I'm told the locals have started a campaign to reopen it to avoid the enevitable new housing estate.

It would seem we are in need of a review of the fundamentals of posting a 'Challenge' photo. Many folks are willing to identify the aerodrome, but they won't stick around to post a challenge, perhaps because they are reluctant to monitor the replies. A gentle reminder to all, please try to post an older photo of an aerodrome that is still extant. Remember, this is 'Aviation History and Nostalgia'.
..and remember, if you think you have a correct answer, have a photo ready to post. Check this forum to learn how to post photos. Regards, from a guy who has done plenty..

First hint:
There is a major motorway alongside the railway line from the center left to upper right. It lies between the railway and the hangars which are on the aerodrome - yet I can't find the hangars in the present Google Earth image. The hangars were still there when I drove past maybe 20 years ago.
[Sounds a little like my instruction to "Turn left where the E J Korvetes store used to be".]
