No, not East Africa. So that leaves only South, West or North Africa !!

No, not West Africa.

Not central Africa. This country has a coastline.

I'm getting bored with this one (it's a pretty poor photo).

So we know it's African, a country with a coastline, but not West nor East.

I suggest Tripoli, just to keep thing moving along.

Oh dear Russ,

I'm so sorry that you are getting bored.

Yes it is a poor photo. I'm sorry I'll try and post a better one next time.

But you are getting closer. It is North Africa but much further west than Tripoli.

This aerodrome was once the major aerodrome of the country.

It has now been surpassed and now no longer the Capital City International Airport.

The current International Airport has appeared on this forum before.

Clint.

Hmmm, I'm thinking of a place made famous by Humphrey Bogart. The orientation seems similar to CAS/GMMC. Open House if I'm correct.

Yes Barry !!

It is indeed Casablanca Anfa Airport. Imortalized in the film staring Humphrey Bogart.

Once Morocco's main airport until the opening of the International Mohammed V Airport.

As you have declared, Open House.

Wrong continent. Don't read too much into the general run down appearance.
