No need to apologize,
I had not much to go on, so made the assumption that it would be an English native country farthest away from Australia as possible.

Not realizing it could be a Great Britain overseas territory as well.
No worries, I have found two new wonderful places with equally non-descriptive surroundings.
That will be old school Jenkins criptic challenges.

Before that terror is unleashed on us lats see what we can do on BSDs challenge

Could be a lake or the sea, two high winged aircraft there - plus quite good roads for such snow bound country

Are we in N America (including Greenland)?

We are indeed. I've a feeling this won't last!

N America with mountains - but no trees - that restricts it to very high or way, way north

Is it above 10,000 ft AMSL?

Not much above seal level....

Artic bay airport?

I see some similarities with Arctic Bay, but there are no glaciers nearby to source those icebergs. I think this strip is more likely to be in Greenland.

I agree, having spent time in Newfoundland, it doesn't look like Northern Canada. I was surprised by how few airstrip there are in Greenland and again how few are dirt. Is it Daneborg Station?

Zackenberg Station maybe?

Another photo. taken as we came overhead before turning to the left into the downwind leg......

Kulusuk, BGKK,Greenland....

I think sycamore is on target!

I'm thinking enough time has elapsed for me to declare sycamore is on the money and now has the con.

Fascinating place. Built I believe in the late fifties by the US to support the construction of the DEW (distant early warning) line, Sea Bass, Sob Story etc.

Now that I've cracked uploading, here are 3 more. On the ramp, taking on the most expensive fuel in the entire world (at the time0 paid for in cash, US$ only. And one on departure.

Leaving SondreStromfjord (now Kangerlussuaq) the lady in the met office said "you won't get a better day than this to cross Greenland" It was spectacular.

it is an island

After Tranquility Bay,
the moon-like strips are back in fashion!

Cape Verde Islands?

Sorry Bear,but you don`t need a swimsuit here,sunscreen,yes,but fur preferred; about the same distance from your country to here ,as to CVs.

Are we n N Canada? there scenery looks like Hudson's bay - tho it could be the Khatanga Gulf sort of place in N Russia - but I doubt the base would be named after your mate............

A56,correct...couple of little `clues` in with photo...my friend`s father named it((family name).
If you go half as far as Bear,starting from near `MissPiggy`s mishap,you should be close,but it won`t be `warmer`.......

Well, starting from Miss Piggy wreck in Churchill and going c 2000km N brings us to Haig-Thomas Island, but I see no aerodrome? OH if correct (SLB had one ready?).
