Is it Liverpool (EGGP)?
I seem to remember the terminal used to look a bit depressing from the ramp. |
If I didn't know better, I'd say it looked a little like an airside view of Arrivals at EMA.
But I don't remember all those lifeboats on the roof! |
Neither Liverpool or East Mids, sorry.
Still need to move to cooler areas.... Rgds AAO |
It seems to have a Russian look about it, but if so where are all the derelict Tupolevs and Illyushins ;)
|
It wouldn't be Bromma would it?
|
I'm sure the derelict Ilyushins & Tupolevs are there somewhere....

The style of architecture suggests Islamabad to me
Time to spare, go by air Hen draig |
Granted it does look like Islamabad (but isn't, sorry). Thats not usually cooler than Liverpool or East Mids though.
I.e., it's somewhere cold! & where there is very likely to be I42's derelict Ilyushins & Tupolevs. Rgds AAO |
A wild guess.......Novosibirsk?

Message to self. Do not post without reading other replies.
Tashkent always seems to have a number fo surplus aircraft sitting decaying and the same style of architecture. Hen Ddraig |
Neither Novosibirsk nor Tashkent, sorry.
Definately on the right track though. Novosibirsk being closest so far. Rgds AAO |
......purely by geography , Irkutsk ???
|
Getting closer....

Ulaanbaatar (Ulan Batar)?
|
Not Irkutsk, but in the Irkutsk Oblast.
Bratsk airport. Strangely there does not seem to be the usual Russian aeronautical junkyard here - just a lot of empty fighter alert pads. I don't think I want to go there - some quotes from Wikipedia: Bratsk was among the Blacksmith Institute's "Dirty Thirty", the thirty most polluted places in the world. Bratsk has been declared an ecological disaster zone. The Bratsk Aluminium Plant has been polluting its surroundings to such great degree that the town of Chikanovskiy was evacuated in 2001 due to repeated health emergencies. |
It is indeed Bratsk. Over to you I42.

Kindley Field, Corregidor Island?

c2j, you are correct. I think you must have inspired the song "I've been everywhere." :)
I've just been on a day-trip to Corregidor, and so it was an obvious choice. The long ridge in the distance is the largest part of island, where all the coastal batteries and barracks are. The slightly closer, darker and smaller ridge is the hill which contains the famous Malinta Tunnel. Here is what looks like a posed photo of Ki-21 Sally bombers over Corregidor. Kindley Field is at the bottom left. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...seaircraft.jpg Over to you. |
Thanks, I42,
I've been fortunate to travel widely in my career. I spent a number of years flying out of Singapore and my wife is from your "location". The new challenge is an early picture of what has become the international airport in the capital city of this country. This picture was taken circa 1943.
