Time for another clue...

When I was there in 1982 getting in some Pitts' time, I was told that more aircraft were based there than there were on the whole British register. (That was from a British chap who worked for US AOPA HQ in Maryland)

Would that be Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport (KTMB) in Florida, olympus?

Haven't looked on here in a while, but great to see this fascinating thread soldiers on.

How about Bario, in East Malaysia?

Not that sure though, I think the Bario runway was more east/west than 20/02.

Worth a guess though I trust.

Correct hemisphere and within +- 25° latitude, Mr Grubby .

Edit: To compensate for somewhat illogical clue, some more:

In the US. Since taking the picture, the runway has become inactive and a new one has been built.

Not in Idaho Mr Grubby .

The charming lady may have been a bit tipsy at her prime days, given her name.

No Mel not her. This "Lady" is still with us. And her name is not part of the aerodrome.

No, Sir, not Martha's Vineyard. No woman in airport name. Water, though, but not sea.

The Lady (not in distress in this case) was less interested in water than something fizzier. Worth goooogling.
