I think the temp was 80c + so not snow, and it's nowhere near Scandinavia,

After three hours, I'm bored, and I'm sufficiently confident of my answer to post the next "Which Aerodrome?"

John,
I beleive Russell's challenge is still active. You might want to keep yours until you either (a) answer his or (b) the successful person declares open house. I realise it can be a bit slow when Europe's asleep but it is mainly a Brit forum.
Compliments of the Season!

You are so right, apologies, I read Flap40's post and got the wrong idea.

I am going to pull mine and I understand your 'Brit forum' comment though this particular strip has seen even a RAF Vulcan (though VERY briefly!).

If I'm right then John mights as well jump back in as I won't be able to post a pic until the 24th.

I believe that Flap40 has it correctly identified.
Taylorcraft org.u.k, confirms the tower as being Nevers.

I would have sworn that it was a UK Mil ATC Tower modernised. But Nevers it is: (I have been there as well, but it was way back in '88)

Another view of Nevers Tower

Flap40 is correct; Nevers it is.

Looks like John carries the baton.
