Did Olympic fins look like that?

The Viscount is an 810/840, isn't it? Wouldn't that cut the possibilities way down?

621andy's challenge

The abandoned Nicosia International Airport (NIC), and former RAF base, in Cyprus.

I believe Nicosia was posted earlier on the 12th of August.

Thought everyone had got bored of this game and had wandered off to forums new

It's mainland Europe where English is not widely spoken At least 2 forms of aviation should be familiar with this famous scenic airfield.
maybe this will help:

Firstly they look like they could be Sea Venoms, with a carrier in the background.
Thought it might be Suez, but no sign of 'invasion stripes' on the a/c, plus the photo details says its 1960

my guess is somewhere in SE Asia, but no real idea where
