Which Aerodrome?
brakedwell,
Thanks. Having been there and also being a geologist, it was the cliffs at Crater that caught my attention. When I was there (once) in 1992, it was odd to see such a mixture of typical RAF buildings, partially replaced by Russian ones.
And now for something completely different - model aircraft flying on an operational ramp - note the Britannia's props are turning

Sorry, not Nairobi.
Hmm. I can see a trend developing here 
I'll cut it short - not in Africa.

Hmm . . . a hint of a mountain in the background on the right? Western North America? CYVR was recently posted, so not likely . . .
The pants on the prop-spinning fella indicate familiarity with rainy climes
So . . . . CYYJ? (Victoria, BC)

(Edited to say that I have realized that the 'mountain' is the gable end of the hangar)
Is it in Australia?

Yes, Darwin it is.
Here was my next clue - an earlier devastation in 1942. I believe the water tower is still there.
OF, you have control.

That's a puzzle; looks sort of Falkland Islandish terrain, or Scottish Islands, and then there's what appears to be a rather high angled PAPI approach. High ground behind the camera? Is that a clue? I'm fumbling, really.

I was going to jump straight in and say it is Wideawake on Ascension (viewed from the 31 end), as the rwy and ramp layout is almost identical, but where's the sea in the background?
However I'm going for Mount Pleasant. Capot - you were almost there...

Thanks, Old Fart. I'd love to visit that one at some stage before I croak...
Here's and old picture of a lovely little aerodrome I have fairly recent experience of; one which I think may be quite tough. But with the wealth of knowledge out there in PPRuNeland you never know...
Good luck!
