Ahh...the enduring nature of concrete. Here is the next mystery aerodrome:

Beja Portugal - with the new civilian side/apron/terminal clearly shown...about 2 years old now?

Fly past it regularly Faro to LON/UK

if so open house

Yes, Beja, Portugal. As requested, it is OPEN HOUSE.

Holiday snaps from the Mysterious Orient ?

Do I see French Colonial Architecture ?

LFH

LFH,

Sorry to disappoint you - no and no. :E

OK, what about a tropical (non-French) Pacific paradise ? Less of the confidence, more of a distraction from the glum winter weather here in UK. LFH

(Next stop the Caribbean)

LFH,

50% - must try harder ;)

Tropical and non-French, but wrong ocean and definitely not paradise.

I would cancel the trip to the Caribbean, if I were you.

PS 35 C here today, same as always!

In the vicinity of Sao-Tome and Principe ?

Interesting choice, bri. This airport is not near São Tomé and Príncipe, but there is a connection.

Must be the Portuguese Connection then ? LFH

Está certo! :)

Portuguese India? Goa for example.

Go west, young man.

West as in Zanzibar? (tongue in cheek by the way)

Not Zanzibar, but close to the right continent!

How about Lumbo Airport, Mozambique?

Open House if correct.

reckon you got it hippo, well done . grrrrr.

Well done, nvubu. :ok:

Lumbo, it is.

I had never heard of Lumbo before, but discovered it by accident when I was looking at the city/island of Mozambique on Google Earth, after having watched the"Last African Flying Boat" documentary.


LFH, sorry -pipped at the post!


nvubu has declared Open House.

PS I learn something new every day. Nvubu is hippo in Uganda!

I wasn't within an african mile of the place.

Open House - Try this pretty picture - LFH
