It has been more than 24 hours and only one guess. Too hard I fear.
Here is a similar view in the daytime. The elevator/lift towers are at the right edge of the photo.

I think it's Reagan National, Washington (DCA).

Right GCC, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport new terminal. Even though the first challenge in this thread was also KDCA, I thought the new terminal was essentially a different test.

GCC, you have control.

Well done TM, knew I should have edited out the golf ball!

BEagle's pic - looks as if there's a Roman road across that airfield?

Beagles is almost certainly a Coastal Command airfield, but I am not sure which one. The 'line' could have been a railway, but to the best of my recollection, the only such UK base like this was Ballykelly, which whilst a Coastal Command airfield also, this is not Ballykelly. It could however be another of the Northern Ireland airfields.

An interesting one Llanbedr?

Ignore the 'Roman Road' - it's a damaged print, sorry.

Neither Coastal nor in Nor'n Ir'n.

BEagle's pic:

No Roman road, hmm... there was I thinking WW2 Lincolnshire.

Going on the tree shadows it's probably 'North up' orientated, possibly a railway in a cutting across the top left. Google earthed over Lincs but nothing similar.

However, guessing: Binbrook?

Neither Binbrook nor Topcliffe.

Although a type of aircraft once based at Binbrook was also operated from here......
