LFT's challenge

Wild guess Bristol Lulsgate? However, I am sure that is an Atlantic Airlines Lockheed Electra.

Second guess. I'll try reversing the numbers and try 21 at Prestwick. The runway markings, turnoffs and papi's fit with google earth as does the red barn next to the house. Unfortunately, on google earth the house is missing its dorma windows!

Not Dunsfold or Davidstow Moor.

This airfield is disused and lies on the west coast of the UK.

Not Llanbedr or St Eval.

This one is also in Scotland. You are looking along the main runway which is 02/20 ish (might be 03/21). There is a third short cross runway behind you. There are hills to your left.
