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.

The floor is yours.

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