Ahhhhh De Havilland... what a fine aeroplane.
I was once flying overhead Khartoum when the skipper asked me to get the Khartoum weather.
Speedbird *** requesting your weather actual.
Khartoum... we haven't got any weather.
Speedbird *** can't you look out of the window?
Long pause...
Khartoum... we haven't got any windows!

Looks like UK.
T2 hangar, Nissen huts, roads not straight, etc., but the taxyway seems to be a long way from the runway.
Could be on Salisbury plain, but I can't find anything to match.

Yes it is in England, but not Salisbury Plain. Go NE. Note the aerodrome is no longer visible from google earth. What was once a portion of runway is now a grove of trees or a hedgerow. The photo was taken looking east.

Well done
Home of the famed Bottisham Four seen here.
My turn?
I hope this is not too obscure. The photo is taken facing west, and the entire area is currently flooded....

From the flood reference, I deduce the Darling Downs in SE Queensland.
Is it a Cockie's runway?

Yes, a homestead strip, but not SE Qld.
No, not Corynnia.
A clue then: there are three aircraft visible, one on finals and two parked near the trees in centre right - they're all Chipmunks.
Cheers.

Well done Smokeon, Groongal it is!
