Which Aerodrome?
It seems to have a Russian look about it, but if so where are all the derelict Tupolevs and Illyushins

Granted it does look like Islamabad (but isn't, sorry). Thats not usually cooler than Liverpool or East Mids though.
I.e., it's somewhere cold!
& where there is very likely to be I42's derelict Ilyushins & Tupolevs.

Not Irkutsk, but in the Irkutsk Oblast.
Bratsk airport. Strangely there does not seem to be the usual Russian aeronautical junkyard here - just a lot of empty fighter alert pads.
I don't think I want to go there - some quotes from Wikipedia:

Bratsk was among the Blacksmith Institute's "Dirty Thirty", the thirty most polluted places in the world.
Bratsk has been declared an ecological disaster zone. The Bratsk Aluminium Plant has been polluting its surroundings to such great degree that the town of Chikanovskiy was evacuated in 2001 due to repeated health emergencies.
c2j, you are correct. I think you must have inspired the song "I've been everywhere." 
I've just been on a day-trip to Corregidor, and so it was an obvious choice.
The long ridge in the distance is the largest part of island, where all the coastal batteries and barracks are. The slightly closer, darker and smaller ridge is the hill which contains the famous Malinta Tunnel.
Here is what looks like a posed photo of Ki-21 Sally bombers over Corregidor. Kindley Field is at the bottom left.
Over to you.

Thanks, I42,
I've been fortunate to travel widely in my career. I spent a number of years flying out of Singapore and my wife is from your "location".
The new challenge is an early picture of what has become the international airport in the capital city of this country. This picture was taken circa 1943.
