Another four-engined transport, nowhere near Okinawa.

Hmmm...
RAF Hastings in some distant outpost of the British Empire.
Malaysian peninsula perhaps?

Doubt it - looks like snow on the ground......

I think it 's British Columbia - maybe Peace River/Fort St John????

Described as being the best three-engined aeroplane ever built!

I have a feeling it was used for testing heavy aircraft at one point - might be wrong.......

Fort St. John, BC.

The photo is dated 1948, which is the year the Hastings went into service, so maybe this one was in Canada for cold weather trials.

Harry has the con.

I came across it when I was checking out your Edmonton Namao challenge so it looked awfully familiar....

Somewhere warmer this time

Alicante ?

No - but near the Med

Hmmmm... what do you classify as the Med :)

Looking on both Google & Bing Maps - I can see that the "Med" how I thought of it is actually made up of a number of seas - of which the Mediterranean Sea is but one part - the biggest part.

• Alboran Sea
• Balearic Sea
• Sea of Sardinia
• Ligurian Sea
• Tyrrhenian Sea
• Ionian Sea
• Adriatic Sea
• Aegean Sea
• Thracian Sea
• Sea of Crete
• Mediterranean Sea

So do you mean the "Med" as a whole?
Or just the "Med" part of the "Med"?

The large stand number (if that's what's on the notice) and the lack of nose-in parking makes me think it's a low-cost terminal at a large airport. Could it be Marseilles? I seem to remember that they built a terminal for Ryanair and maybe other loco carriers a few years ago and there was a load of controversy when Ryanair pulled out shortly afterwards.

Nvubu - the "Med" so you don't get it in 10 minutes!! :cool::cool:

Jensdad is on the right lines - large airport but really only a LOCO destination - not Marseille

Also military use

How about Pisa?

Right country - but I think we've had Pisa twice al;ready in 2017...... as you can see - definitely LOCO

Cagliari then?

Still in the correct country but not Sardinia................

I must admit if I hadn't been there it would have passed me by but it's a lot bigger than I expected

Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani–Birgi (IATA: TPS, ICAO: LICT) on Sicily

Correct!! Over to golfbj

Big place at the extreme west end of Sicily - lots of military activity - Typhoons and AW 139's based there and regular NATO AWACS visitors
