OUAQUKGF is near enough. It is actually nearest to the village of Nayland and is known as such, but also as Hill Farm. Surprised it has not featured before but it is not on the Wiki. Good place to practice for your mountain rating. Have checked out a few people for landing there.
As regards the picture, although the ground does rise on either side of the runway it is not as obvious as the camera seems to make it.
OUAQUKGF has control.

Thanks ea200 bit of a fluke but somewhere in the dusty recesses of my old head I recalled watching this video...... Superb country-side of The Stour Valley.
Will have to be OH !

A lot of my pictures of this place show it to be cloudy but it can be very sunny and warm here

The obstructions and portable fire fighting suggest it may be used for non-aviation purposes. Motor sports or record setting maybe. Long shot but its flat enough to be Elvington.
They do operate helicopters from here but it has a long runway - it's labeled "International" but I think that that aspect is mainly freight. The military also operate there. It's not in the UK
No, although the scenery isn't too dissimilar (at least in the photo I posted). I've had a lot of bother finding out any history on this challenge - I suspect it's over 50 or 60 years old but no old pictures anywhere
It does like like bits of Spain but I'm afraid not - perhaps further east?

You are in the right sort of area and on the correct continent but still quite aways away.
This place claims to be International but as I think I said its probably only freight that's international.

You're not getting many takers on this one Asturias I'll have another punt at Nis, Serbia. Don't know much about the place except that I don't think there's much in the way of passenger traffic, but I've seen a video of an IL62 freighter doing an extremely late take-off there!

I know - you're sort of getting close (-ish) - I'm not sure if we've ever had a challenge from this country TBH - It's not a "destination" for anyone I know
Asturias,
As I have the latest update of the database I have a small advantage on the other contestants.
I will therefore not post my answer (yet)
I can confirm this country is not in the database.
For that sake everybody can also use the list of W-A mk3.
Looks like you and I have the same idea:
Post challenges of countries not yet featured before.
(See Vatican City)
In Europe we still have 3 or 4 left.
I am working on getting the updated list posted but for the moment this only seems feasible via a link to a URL (cloud server). I am not aware I have such cloud server. If somebody knows how or is willing to do for me then please send PM.
