Not Khartoum - Vienna was the closest you got so far - also not Italy (PM)

Ridge Rider made it ! Saved me using my next clue which would have been "Don't worry, its going to be OK- !" (Yuk)

Prague - Ruzyne . The 1937 terminal . After one war, three invasions/liberations, two revolutions and a state break-up, still virtually unchanged and still in use for Government/VIP flights.

That was fun . You now have control - or maybe Open House in the interests of thread diversity.

Also thanks for the third-party contribution by PM just before the last clue.....

Cheers Doug

Not Berlin and not Lympne.

It is however it is in the UK and identifying the aircraft flying past may offer a clue (only 12 were built).

How about Sandown (I.o.W)? I say that because it is close to Cowes - a SaRo location (flying boats!) RR
