As BAMRA hasn't officially confirmed that it is in fact Orkney, I Googled it to be sure, and can confirm that it's Hatston.

I assume the reference to it being too dry is aimed at my pic and not the Orkneys:}

Turin it is not;)

The Robin inside the hangar and the runway markings have definitely some French touch. Most probalbly Provence or Languedoc (based on the countryside)

Cuers-Pierrefeu, per chance ?

621andy 10th Jan 2008 13:47

Cuers-Pierrefeu- mais non!

Is it Limmasol, Cyprus

Ajaccio, Corsica perhaps?

BSD.

621andy 11th Jan 2008 12:41

Not Limmy, or Ajaccio either...

Small clue, perhaps, Andy?

I thought this one would go in minutes!

Someone got very close early on...

Somewhere on the Med coast like Frejus.

Lucca airfield?

621andy 12th Jan 2008 13:29

Not Luqa, but Frejus is warmer...

Le Luc - Le Cannet ?

621andy 12th Jan 2008 13:42
