Which Aerodrome Mk IV
Cannot fault the logic in your answer. You do not get full marks, however, because of the typo in the elevation! .
The "hill" you see trees on is actually the other side of a very deep valley just off the end of the runway.
Flew in in a B727-100 operated by LAB and, trust me, if there had been trains still operating from the rail station in the city (which, we were told, was the scene of the demise of real Butch Cassidy) I would have bought a ticket. We were there to find a suitable site for the then (2001) much needed replacement. The change occurred over a decade later.
Over to you Asturias.

Asturias - I spent some 20 years in the Pacific - on many islands and atolls - A massive part of the World
I am going to search for this challenge
Did you say its not in use ? if so, when was it in use - how long ago ?

Better to ask a few questions than try and look at a zillion islands.
This has never been up as a challenge before - at least not in the last few years - it was operational into the late '70's I believe.
It's generally uninhabited - certainly no permanent habitation

A long way away from the Kuril Islands and much warmer -
periodically it features in news bulletins - if not by name by general location

Fangatau,Fr Polynesia...?
Not Fangatau - it is in an Independent country (not France) and it was British
It is south of the equator - it was quite busy for a period
there are old ruins but little is known about the early settlers

Malden has been on this forum before and the coastline is nothing like the other OPS Grapple airfields (Kiritimati and AEON).
