Thats the one! Freetown - Lunghi. My dad was working there in the early to mid 60s when he took the picture. Over to you.

Oh help, I'm stuck.

This is the best I can do on the spur of. It is neither historic nor nostalgic, but pretty impressive nonetheless. I won't be around to confirm but he who gets it right will be in no doubt, so don't hold the game up waiting for me.

Tiger mate,

The terrain in the background to the right of the photo doesn't feature at JFK.

Beautiful building, which must be paying some architectural homage to the TWA terminal building though.

BSD.

The new terminal of Bilbao?

They were still building it when I was there last, but this might have been the result.

So do I now, there is a picture on their website that looks similar.

Here is the next one, rather recent:

Not much to see, but the smokestacks do cause some turbulence when overflying the outer marker.

Following the Glide will take you above them, and there are no non-precision approaches from that side

I remember only one chimney, when I was the last time there.

Nor to continue:

Seems to be difficult

The airport is in Europe, it is the home of an aviation museum. There is also some regional scheduled traffic and of course business and privat flying. At the westpart was, or is, an aircraftfactory.

It was the aircraft factory clue that made me think it must be a lake and not the sea. I couldn't imagine a factory in a corrosive environment.

So that led me to LSZR St. Gallen, Altenrhein.

Open house if correct.

Altenrhein perhaps ?

Damn ... too slow

From an airfield which bears no resemblance now to what it once was ...
