Quite some distance from the Balkans. A suprisingly active airport for the regular poor weather. Lack of services makes it an "in-and-out" destination for all but the saviours.

Chimbu Warrior is correct. Wamina, Indonesia. The only aircraft bases there (2005) was a Cessna 206 supporting missionary work.

It was a busy day at Wamina with military and civilian flights.
Trigana Air Service was the major player utilizing 5 different types. Both the Caribou and Twin Otter have since been written off (unfortunately the DHC-6 with a major loss of life). Can't say for the ATY and F-27.
But, you say, that is only 4! Well, I was the fifth, and only jet (they hadn't yet begun to run 737's off the runway) and was operating under Trigana's AOC.
By the way... how does one find "What Aerodrome Mk I & II"?

I started Mk I in 2007 acting on a suggestion from evansb (I think). The first mystery aerodrome picture was of the original terminal at Washington National Airport, KDCA. I can't find a link, even with that knowledge,

Good picture. I remember landing here some years back and wondering how on earth anyone had managed to put s chimney there!
I'll hang fire and see if anyone else gets it.

Squires Gate Blackpool it is, well done.
The photo was taken around 1969 give or take a year or two. What is the aircraft type and what happened to this particular aircraft? I seem to remember that the aircraft might have been abandoned. Also a close look at the tail seems to show it is detached from the rest of the aircraft.
