Did Olympic fins look like that?

The Viscount is an 810/840, isn't it? Wouldn't that cut the possibilities way down?

The abandoned Nicosia International Airport (NIC), and former RAF base, in Cyprus.

I believe Nicosia was posted earlier on the 12th of August.

Time for a hint, Andy.

Thought everyone had got bored of this game and had wandered off to forums new:}

It's mainland Europe where English is not widely spoken;) At least 2 forms of aviation should be familiar with this famous scenic airfield.
maybe this will help:

Wrong direction anyway...keep going...

New challenge. This photo was taken in 1960.

621andy 14th Sep 2007 05:29

bluddy hell this evans chappie gets it every time:D

Wild guess for this one- Gan?

Edit- just checked googly- NOT Gan:*

621andy 14th Sep 2007 06:07

Firstly they look like they could be Sea Venoms, with a carrier in the background.
Thought it might be Suez, but no sign of 'invasion stripes' on the a/c, plus the photo details says its 1960:}

my guess is somewhere in SE Asia, but no real idea where:ugh:

621andy 14th Sep 2007 06:14

Another half wild guess- Trincomalee, Ceylon(wot was)

Must be Subic Bay, now Subic Bay International Airport.
