Which Aerodrome Mk III
Well this is tricky . I thought I might have got it with Mati, but there's nothing in the distance. The pesky clouds and the poor quality of GE for large parts of the area may be obscuring the target. I've just found a semi-official map claiming to show all the airfields in the Philippines – that will take some time to work through. LFH
Well in my failure to find anything better I've now convinced myself that it could well be Mati - previously known as Imelda R Marcos Airport. So if anyone else is holding back, now's your chance, because I've got to mow the lawn before it rains.

Grollie - Was that a very erudite bit of modern poetry - or just a fiendish riddle ? Either way - bewildered respect sir. LFH

Well done LFH, at one point you were telling me it wasn't Mati.
And Wikipedia is incorrect when it suggests that Mati Airport remains open having changed it's name from Imelda Marcos, the airport didn't change it name from Imelda Marcos before it closed.
That said, there was talk of reopening it but so far no sign of any operations to and from.
And only in the Philippines could a character like Imelda Marcos be allowed back in to politics and only recently have they called off the search for all the missing monies from the Marcos's reign.

Thank you Phil. I should have looked more carefully first time.
I would argue with your " And only in ... " I'm not sure there's anywhere where they don't ... these days ...
Here's the next. Clue - it's not the Philippines.

I guess honour goes to OldP for isolating the area so quickly; Marks to Chevy for La Palma or Hierro - (I had to look hard for Hierro and I don't know how many alternative guesses one is allowed for a valid compete - anyone ??? ) and credit to Phil for the precise answer.
BTW Phil - while we were discussing the not-so-niceties of local politics, did you get rumbled by TS Rumbia/Gorio or did it pass clear enough ?
So Chevy has it - with La Palma (GCLA Canary Islands and 28N 17W if needed ) but as he's declared OPEN HOUSE and in view of the aforegoing, I exercise my command prerogative and offer the next challenge to Phileas Fogg for his precision.
