Speechless you are correct (and quick too!). How did you know?

Pronounced "Deepham" Green, so only the one point, I'm afraid.

Next!

So things won't go quite so long...

Indonesia
Very busy airport served by several domestic carriers plus the military and the Godly.

Darn Scot cheat!

BSD 4th Jan 2008 09:25

Balikpapan?

BSD.

Cubs2jets 4th Jan 2008 14:32

I think BSD has it!

Cubs2jets

BSD 4th Jan 2008 15:14

Off to work now, 6 day trip. If I've got it, it will have to be open house.

I'll take my camera, and see if I can cme up with something new.

Cubs2Jets - great name by the way, have you been there?

BSD.

Fishtailed 4th Jan 2008 15:19

Sorry for the condition of the print, has been on my desk for years. It's only orange juice splashes, not blood, honest.

Just to confirm.. BSD has the right answer.. Sepinggan (Balikpapan), Indonesia.

Tiger_mate 4th Jan 2008 17:32

Is that a winch at the far end of the (narrow) runway, or your dinner :}

NB John: I rest my case!
