Mr. Grubby, I know that it is almost my standard question, but would this one be in Sweden?

Grande Baie................... No hold on; flat countryside with forest; possibly Northern Europe or southern Canada? Countryside looks like Poland or Germany but the hangar style and selection of aircraft is more north american.

I agree with chevvron about the "north american" look, but the hangars don't look like any Canadian hangars I have seen, so I'll guess somewhere in the US.

Thanks Mr Grubby!

I need to prepare a challenge, so it is Open House, if somebody wants to go ahead. If not, I'll be back later.
