Silence is golden.
A clue please sabre. It could be remote, disused, abandoned or just plain third world (am I still allowed to say that?). Google isn't helpful thus far on those counts. Given what looks to be a serviceable flag, I think it may still be 'in use'.

The 'old' airport on Montserrat? (probably not as I can't see any volcanic ash, and in any case it's been done before)

Neither Montserrat or Nicosia I am afraid.
The terminal building has it's origins in the "Golden Age"of civil aviation,and the airfield (military) is still operational.
It is said that a certain country's day begins here!

I really don't think this is going to be correct, but that photo makes me think of Castle Bromwich.

sabredog 4th Aug 2012 09:49

Thinking along the correct lines,nacluv,but not Castle Bromwich.

Well they look like bi-planes - the hanger gives scale so my guess is Handley Page before they moved - so Cricklewood?

sabredog 6th Aug 2012 06:44

It is indeed,Spook. Well done.
The Handley Page Aircraft Factory at Claremont Road, Cricklewood. (1921).

I think that's Decimomannu on Sardinia (ANOTHER I had lined up for a future potential challenge!).

spook 6th Aug 2012 09:13

Well done DB! YHC :ok:

jindabyne 6th Aug 2012 09:40

Mmmm? Spurious use of 'scrambling'?

Duckbutt 6th Aug 2012 09:43

Thanks. Let's see if I can make a current airfield challenge last longer then the customary 12 minutes:
