These look like the remains of an airship hangar in the USA. I've seen them at Weeksville, NC and will suggest that location as a longshot, though the trees don't look right. If by some chance I'm right, Open House - I may not get back on for 24hrs or so.

Thank you, Mr. Grubby.
Pure luck. I found Congonhas Airport whilst researching Descol's earlier challenge. I considered it to be a possisible contender for the future, so I made a note of it!

Don't. Is this from the same day as Belfast?



Well, maybe I'll take the open house, because I apparently have made my esteemed colleague so sour that he wouldn't grant me the challenge



Sorry, for a while the picture was lost in cyberspace .
