Since I know where BEagle's childhood was spent, I'll guess Merryfield.

Neither Little Rissington nor Merryfield......

The aircraft type from which the photo was taken finally went out of RAF service in 1959 - and some were based not far from the site of the photo until March 1957.

Well, I reckon the photograph is taken from a Sunderland?

Beagle's challenge
 

I agree a Sunderland from Pembroke that would make this airfield possibly RNAS St Davids.

Taken from a Sunderland, possibly based at RAF Pembroke Dock......









But it's neither Brawdy nor St. David's!

Although you're getting warmer.....;)

Carew Cheriton perhaps? If I'm right, give it to someone else.

I'd say you're spot on JW

Carew Cheriton it is indeed - well done!

Claudillo's challenge
 

It looks a bit like Saba, Netherlands Antilles.

Sorry Seacue, not Saba

Caudillo's pic........


Off the Californian coast perhaps?

How about Vestmannaeyjar Iceland.

Neither Iceland nor California.

This place once had a very famous scottish resident.

Samoa?

Isla Robinson Crusoe, Juan Fernandez Islands, Chile?

Isla Juan Fernandez, aka Robinson Crusoe Island?

BTW, I can see that you would want to avoid undershooting, but isn't the approach a little high?

Bugha me, once again too slow on the button....................

We don't know if we're right yet!

You post a new picture if you're right, I'll post one later.

BAMRA and ONB

Your answer sounds lots "Samoa" accurate than mine, but I can't immediately find an IATA code for it - funny that!:)

PS Right ocean though ....
