Domodedovo?

In the unlikely event this wild guess is right, it's open house, I'm away.

I note a couple of US C130s and is that also a C141 or C5 tail over on the left? So Russkies and US jobs - I'm wondering whether it's somewhere in central asia - eg one of the 'stans' - then again, it doesn't appear arid enough? Am I barking up the wrong tree??

I will stick my neck right out on this one and say Glasgow-Prestwick possibly.

The pic was taken 2 years ago and only 4 of the 6 identifiable aircraft are in flyable condition...

Dover Air Force Base??

If I,m right, what are the Russians doing there. Was it a State visit?

Correct, it's Dover AFB (again, forgot I posted one a week or so ago), not sure if it was a State Visit though? Got a bit of a surprise when I saw these 4 sitting on the ramp I can tell you. Open House .

Sorry, just realised that the wrong person declared open house. If dixi188 posts one then I'll remove mine.

Clue 1;

I last landed an aircraft here on 9th July 1970 (VC10 G-ARVL). Since then time has stood still (for the airport, not for me). The check-in desks, passport control and cafes are still as I remember them. The runways are intact. However there are no passengers to walk through these doors.

Clue 2;

The doors of this European airport were locked in 1974
