Stavanger, Norway?
Stavanger (Sola) airport as it was in early 1952 with Comet G-ALZK there for de-icing trials.
(For obvious reasons I erased "Stavanger" from the billboard alongside "Lufthavn").

Over to you AAO

Shack has offered to instruct me how to post pics so you might hear from me.

I'll start the ball rolling with a wild guess; Burtonwood?

Duckbutt 11th Aug 2008 11:37

Not Burtonwood.

AfgAirOps 11th Aug 2008 11:58

Guesses dont get any wilder than this one.....;

Vientienne?

Duckbutt 11th Aug 2008 12:01

Sorry, not Vientienne.

Some might, however argue that there COULD be a somewhat tenuous connection with 'my' picture.

AfgAirOps 11th Aug 2008 12:19

Hmmmmm....

Would the connection be an operator that used Vientienne?

I had the wrong conflict in mind.

So, how about Aguacate, Honduras?

Duckbutt 11th Aug 2008 12:52

Yes, that's it AAO, Aguacate Honduras, one of the bases used by Oliver North and his colleagues to supply the Contras in Nicaragua- I shouldn't have got cocky and given that clue so soon should I!

You have the floor.

Almost..... Only got MS Paint on this PC but a certain amount of evidence (obviously the last 2 of the registration but also the aircrafts name & a sign with the airports name) has been removed.

It's somewhere that often features in the news.....

Is it Baghdad

evansb 11th Aug 2008 18:35

I thought it might be Jask, Iran, but the trees lead me to believe it is Gaza, Palestine.
