I've done the 1/4 mile in about 14 seconds in a 250cc kart on that NE/SW runway; it's Podington aka Santa Pod Raceway

Spot on Chevvron, Poddington it is. You have control.

Single 'd' in Podington (went to Santa Pod many times as spectator, crewman and competitor) and Open House!!!
Incidentally the hangar on the NW corner was a Home Office Buffer Depot for many years, but I think it's been emptied of foodstuff now.
Correction-just looked on Flashearth and the hangar has gone!!

Where is this?

Lajes, Azores Islands?

Not Lajes, sorry.

That rock + the vegetation looks Scandinavian and it looks like the old 'SAS' letters logo at the top of those stairs (guessing a bit), the white estate car looks like a late 50s early 60s Volvo, so I'd say provincial Sweden, or Norway.

Not as much as it did before I fiddled around with its outline on Photoshop! I still don't think it NOW looks anything like a Volvo.

Anyway, keep going BAMRA.........

I was tempted to say Montserrat, but there's no volcano. (Get coat)

Perhaps I should have said "your logic is sound, keep going BAMRA........."

Perversely, it might be argued he is much warmer than you, Chevvron.

Longyearbyen?

Hmm yes Duckbutt, I'm in guessing territory now, but there's a rather Scandinavian looking house in the distance on the left - maroon roof and a dormer window. The vegetation doesn't look 'inland' (big conifers) so maybe a coastal location. I can't think of a terminal with a big ridge of rock so close so maybe the airport has changed.
Karmoy/Haugesund Norway?

Not Longyearbyen or Karmoy.

I hadn't even noticed the house, BAMRA! Some more sound logic in your post though.

Kristiansand?

Not Kristiansand

This is a mid 70's photo:

Iceland has volcanoes but I can't think of an airport that could look like this.
Not even sure if that is volcanic rock in the background or not ...

Not Iceland Moira, see BAMRA's post 4203

How about Gotherburg Torslanda?

That's the one Flap40, Gothenburg's old airport at Torslanda.

Over to you.

Thanks. I've just noticed that that house, the terminal and the second tower can still be seen on Flashearth.

The next challenge.

Flap40, have you looked at your pm's?

Well played Flap40 on Duckbutt's challenge!

Flap40's alternative challenge: Portsmouth?

SNAFU on my part!

Duck's just pointed out that we have already had this one so I have posted an alternative view of the same airfield which will not last long.

Skyways 748 landing on a wet grass airfield in the south of England.
I seem to remember another one followed a short time later. Portsmouth ?

Agree its Portsmouth on 15th August 1967. Which turned out to be a bad day for Channel Airways as two of their 748's crashed at Portsmouth on the same day!

G-ATEK which overrun and hit an earth embankment at 1148 hrs followed one and a half hours later by G-ATEH, inbound from the Channel Islands, which also overran and crashed through the northern perimeter fence at 1334 hrs as shown in Flap40's photo.

Apology to Skyways. Open house.

Just to confirm it is Portsmouth.

The accident report can be found at Air Accidents Investigation Branch: 1/1971 G-ATEK and G-ATEH

As its Open House - Where is this?

It does have a look of Strubby.

Updated Which Aerodrome List
 

I have updated the list of aerodrome challenges published to date. See the What Cockpit,Which Aerodrome and What Silhouette Sticky.

Not Strubby

How about Wittering?

RAF Odiham?

Rgds
AAO

Not Wittering and not Odiham.

Clue - but there is a link to Odiham.

RAF Scampton ?

Dont suppose the link would be an event would it?

(as opposed to an aircraft / crew / squadron etc)

Rgds
AAO

Ah, evansb has beaten me to my next guess so I'm gonna throw in;

RAF Cottesmore?

Rgds
AAO

evansb has it.

Scampton it is in 1953 with 27 Sqn showing off their brand new Canberras.

...and the link with Odiham is that 27 Sqn is currently based at Odiham - with Chinooks.


It's all yours evansb

I'm intrigued, is there a story behind the musical notes painted on the noses of those Canberras?
