Sabredog,


sycamore: Could the a/c, centre bottom be Mirage F1s?
sabredog: Not too sure, but could be possible.
RegDep: leaves France, Ecuador, Greece, Irak, Iran, Jordania, Kuwait, Libya, Morocco, Qatar, Spain, South Africa.
sabredog: None of the above.
Could you please confirm that my understanding is correct: It could be possible that they are Mirage F1s, which have been sold to the listed countries. However, the challenge is not in the countries where Mirage F1 has been sold to.

Edit to say that this question is now moot.

Sabredog, I think the Mirage F1s were Su30s,and the `blob` covers an Il-76 Phalcon/AWACs..Don`t think Jaguars were there at that altitude..!

The white buildings on the right remind me of one of those Nazi 'master race' holiday camps up on the Baltic Coast, so I'm going for East Germany (as was)/Prussia.

It looks, however, as if it's seen better days as an airfield!!

Not Eastern Germany, Old-Duffer, nor the rest of your ID .

Regarding the currency of the airfield I concur .

Good-night clues:

Used to be exercise field for military and was used as an "airfield" during 1913 - 1914. Started as normal aerodrome in 1924,there was from 1925 to 1936 scheduled passenger traffic, in 1932 to 39 European destinations. After post WW2 military use, was gradually phased out, and is now an important sand and dune biotope in its geographical area.

Not Baltic Sea TCF, the sand and dunes have more commonality with The Netherlands.

Edit: Clue time: The commonality with the sand in dunes here and in The Netherlands is it is brought by the Rhine.
