Which Aerodrome Mk III
Hello Db.
Bet you're glad to be out of Saudi! Have you been back long?
Challenge - looks European again or maybe Scandinavia or some such.
Very distinctive runway layout.

I will concede European or maybe Scandinavia or some such.

I was amazed to discover when checking Miramar on GE to see if the same hangars were present there, that at least in the US, buildings are now in 3D. Here are the North Island hangars today:
