It looks like a relatively small town at Right, but some of the housing looks quite monumental in scale. For that reason, I'm going to start the narrowing-down process by going for Eastern Bloc.

Right continent, wrong side of it though.

Tengah in S'pore?

I assumed by Eastern Bloc JD meant Europe :)

This it's more like France or Portugal?

It is in France

Here's an image from 100 years ago - when it wasn't in France

Does that put it in the Saarland ?

I'd bid Alsace, (which was Germany when my great grandparents lived there!) and Strassbourg-Entzheim as a possible answer.

You are close with Strassbourg-Entzheim.


The tree line at the top of the old image and the road layout are still recognisable.

Kaltenhouse/Haguenau???

Hagueau it is. Over to you HH.

Google earth brought up those artifical lakes really well!!

Try this

Somewhere bloody cold.
How about Orebro in Sweden.

Interesting shadow across the runway....?

Looks a bit too hilly to be Orebro but I stand to be corrected. I'm going for Kiruna.

Kiruna it is - Jensdad's turn

And here is the cause of the well spotted shadow Sycamore

Thanks HH,thought it might be a very tall flagpole,,or a banner tow...

I definitely need to stick the lottery on. Just went for Kiruna as it was one of the few airports I know of in the hilly bit of Sweden.
Open House!
