Pisa. OH if correct.

Yep, WIDN62 has it!

The mountains in the background are the Apuan Alps, a sideways spur of the Apennines. The not-quite-perpendicular historical architecture being of course the famous Campanile of the local cathedral.
My next clue was going to be something to do with telescopes (the airfield is named after Galileo Galilei). As with many airports in Italy there are several weekly connections to Romania due to the large amount of Romanians living and working in Italy.
As well as a commercial airfield , it's a large Aeronautica Militare base, although I was surprised to see this Pakistan Air Force C130 there. I photographed it through the window of my Easyjet flight back to Gatwick.

Casa aperta :)

jensdad,

Nice one. 👍

It's a great photo jensdad, because of the huge foreshortening - those hills must be over 15km away. Just be careful not to have the location in the file name.

Is that a Lodestar ?

could be - not sure

Looks like a hot/sunny climate as you can see sun shade on the balcony, so Colonial maybe, not British though as it look like an British colonial building I've seen.


If a Lodestar maybe South American?

Covering a lot of bases there :)

Not sure about the date of the picture could be colonial or just post colonial at the time of the pic Certainly a warm spot

Possibly Dutch colonial?

Bagus Tuan!

Terima kasih banyak! 😀

In Java?

Well I'll guess Batavia as the obvious example!

Yup - big place Java...............

Mr Lupton is correct - but not quite there yet..................

Kemayoran.

Harry, your picture shows up on the Wikipedia page. The caption says 1940.

I flew to Medan and back on a Garuda DC-9 in 1985, shortly before the airport closed. The most alarming landing I have ever experienced. The cockpit door was open and the approach was so steep, that all I could see was the runway number!

JENKINS,
I think what you have spotted is just a typical locally-made barricade on an access road.

India Four Two is correct

My old man was there in late 1945 - driving around Batavia with a jeep full of Japanese POW NCO's shooting up anyone who though that the end of the war meant they'd got rid of the Dutch..... colonialism - don'tcha love it!

Now built over

That's a little known piece of British Army history - trying to recover Indonesia for the Dutch, which is quite well covered here:

Dirk Bogarde wrote a very good novel about this period in Indonesia:

Open house.

PS An interesting fallout from this period is that, in the 1980s, I saw ex-British Army CMP trucks being used in a quarry near Bandung.

The first place that I flew a Tiger Moth
 

I42,

Afraid this one is rather a given for me having flown the caravan at bottom right for a living, I'll leave it for others to name and retire to the 'Bricklayers Pasture' for a wine :-)
