I must confess to an element of surprise - I thought it would have gone by now.

Mainland Europe

A currently active airport which has not been relocated since the photo was taken on 31st January 1998. It's not a transparency,rather a scan of the original print which is in my possession - I was the photographer.

And for the avoidance of doubt the photo was taken from the flight deck observers' seat. There were no 'security' implications.And yes, I was authorised to be there.

Over to you,Ladies and Gentlemen.

Google Earth has it as Tito Menniti at the toe of Italy although another source gives it as Reggio Calabria.

Flap40 has it. Reggio di Calabria Airport,Calabria,Italy ( REG). If memory serves Tito Menniti was an Italian aviator of some distinction hence the airport being named for him.And the site is indeed constrained - the time the photo was taken it was a Cat C airport.

All yours Flap 40.

Thanks. I've lost the photo that I was going to use so OPEN HOUSE.

This one should prove more difficult than my previous attempt:

Blackbush?

Not Blackbushe

Big building in the distance!
Is it the VAB at Kennedy Space Centre?
Can't find any strip around that part of Florida that matches though.

It is not in USA

I'm not sure there is some sort of structure in the background, might be a blemish on the photo, so don't think for sure that there is that structure in the vicinity.

How about Worksop

Long shot - is it that strip near Yealmpton that Peter Cadbury had for his King Air circa 1981?

Neither Worksop nor Yealmpton

Could it be Otterburn in Northumberland?

Or Keevil in Wiltshire?

Lec refrigeration airfield at Bognor Regis?

Flap40,

Yes, Bognor Regis 'Airport' :) is correct.

Thanks. Try this one.

How about Broadford on the Isle of Skye?

Got it in one!

The floor is yours.

Sunshine and tents confused at first, a more typical view of Skye..

Coll, Ballard - EGEL. Before redevelopment, looking towards Mull?

Correct, over to you....years since I've been to Coll, what's changed?

Moondance, some recent photos here:

Coll/Ballard Airfield

New runway, terminal building, and a scheduled air service from Oban operated by Highland Airways using the BN-2B Islander.

Open house.

If it's open house, let's try this one. I know at the start of this thread that someone warned about yet another grass field, but maybe the background terrain will help. No prizes for the country though.

Geneva, Switzerland?

AAO

Sorry AAO. Geneva looks more like Heathrow than a grass field (but in smaller size)!
Laurence

I think Heathrow does actually have some (admittedly small) grass areas & of course its a bit difficult to tell whats behind the camera.... thats my excuse anyway... :}

Another guess, for La Cote, Switzerland (LSGP)?

HB-UUL, picture taken May 07?

Rgds
AAO

Brilliant. Yes, La Côte, also known as Prangins or Gland. The aerials at the back mark the site of NDB GLA.
How did you get the details of the photo? Did I leave an identity on it?
Open house as I have to fly off to LTN tomorrow via EZY.
Laurence

Nope, no identity to that picture.... :cool:

An easy one next;

Thought someone would have had a go by now.....

A clue: The land at the other side of the river is in a different country to the airfield.

Rgds
AAO

Kinshasa N'Djili International then?

V long shot....Bratislava?

Neither Kinshasa nor Bratislava, sorry.

Rgds
AAO

OK then Brazzaville

Not Brazzaville either, sorry.

Subject airfield is not in Africa.

Rgds
AAO

The country this airfield is in was a protectorate of a European country & gained independance in the period from the late 1940s to mid 1950s.

Viang chan (Vientiane) Laos

Vientiane Wattay Intl Airport, Laos
