I told you that it would not last long!

As Speedbird48 said - OPEN HOUSE.

If this has been here before - apologies - and if so, can someone let me know how to check without a complete trawl ?

Ballykelly? But the trains across there were 5ft 3in gauge and the one in the picture is obviously metre gauge!!

descol.

Yes, it has been done before on 13/9/09 post number 1043 submitted by evansb.

It is Bromma Airport Stockholm 1936.

If you look at the Sticky Threads on the Home Page of AH & N, the second one down is a list of Aerodromes and Cockpits that have been submitted. It is kept up to date by Mel and fine work he does too.

Click on Aerodromes and the list will appear.

Clint.

The white sidewall stripe on the car tyre would indicate USA.

Or Canada. I'm thinking it is a airport somewhere northern areas of North America. It looks familiar, but why it does I've not a clue.

The airfield is privately owned by a minor corporate industrialist. There's an oil terminal not too far away from this location.

I think that might be an alloy wheel rim rather than a white sidewall.
