Trees. White markers are not visible from this height.

Trees? How does that reconcile with the shadows?

Easily: one circle is the foliage, the other is the shadow.

See?

Well, that challenge's doing his job pretty well...
I'll sum up and add two clues.

- Not in Europe
- Not in Australia
- Rwy hdg is 16/34 (both are used)
- Rwy is lined with smallish trees
...
- Airstrip is privately owned
- Airstrip is very near (< 5mi) to another airport

Good night and good luck
HP

Edit: ok, I'll wax eloquent.

G'day Graeme,

A wild guess before hitting the hay!

By the large mainwheels, it's the prototype Comet and could it be Cairo ??

Open House if correct as I'm off now. Have a good day mate

Tis Cairo mate!

Are there a couple of airports in Cairo? This one started with "F", I think...I'll have to find the caption again.

Anyway.

Open House if correct as I'm off now

Afternoon, just switched off the tv, great GP really.

People pulling with ropes a Dc-2 should make that plane the Uiver and that aerodrome Albury.

London Melbourne Race

I would also like to second Mel's congratulations to Cadel Evans.
I couldn't watch the contre-la-montre yesterday, but I really liked how he put his heart in every single stage of this Tour.

OK, it's not tarmac but sort of gravel (volcanic?).
