Which Aerodrome Mk III
That's a step too far........................
The target town suffered a great influx of unwanted & abandoned bicycles a year or so back
PS
I'm off out until about 15:30 Zulu

It is indeed Kirknes - the pictures have been carefully cropped to look as anodyne as possible.
A few years back I went through there regularly to & from Murmansk - it's a really nice drive (but not in winter).
A lot of well heeled Middle Eastern refugees would fly to Moscow, then to Murmansk where they'd be taken to border by car or minibus with the bikes strapped on the back. they'd be left at the Russian border post- which is several kms inside the actual border and would exit Russia then ride down the road - you cannot cross the border at Kirkenes on foot. The'd zoom through the actual border (two painted poles) on the edge of what looks like a supermarket car park - which is the Norwegian Border Post - & claim asylum. TBF the Norwegians were very good and had them moved on south to the bigger cities very rapidly
The odd thing about Kirknes is how far EAST it is - same longitude as Alexandria - apparently some oil field guys tried to claim Middle East allowances from their US employer when drilling just north of here!
Dook has it................
