I think I've got this. The decaying Convair 440 between the hangars sparked a subliminal clue.

Evora, Portugal?

A bijoux airport - used for basic commercial training for a while IIRC-

I'm not sure if this place has been done. What happened to the list? So apologies if this is a repeat.

A suitably poor quality video frame to make it not too easy.

Here's the list I updated as at Jan 2017- it's in Excel on my OneDrive - Link
I was only thinking about this yesterday and that I ought to update it :ok:

As to where yours is, they look like Palm Trees, and is that the sea, so somewhere tropical by the seaside?

Mark 1 16th May 2018 17:25

Not tropical and a long way from the sea!

Oh, it has been done before, but not in the last 10 years! Thanks for the link.

Never mind the aerodrome, that’s a Dragon Rapide if I’m not mistaken. :ok:

That should narrow down the location.

Possibly Coventry....? OH if it is..

Mark 1 16th May 2018 20:08

Coventry it is; turning base over the Oak pub in Baginton!

And yes, that was one of Mr Collet's Dragon Rapides from better days at EGBE.

The floor passes to Sycamore.

I've just done a month of updates on the list - now up to 24/02/17 - all of HH's photos have gone :(

Heathrow Harry 17th May 2018 15:31

Sorry - there's a limit on how may I can keep in the folder on PPrune so I have to delete things to get new ones in I normally upload 3 or 4 ready for each challenge as I travel a fair bit but if some gets it in one the others fill up space as well.....

nvubu 17th May 2018 17:13

Ah... I thought it might be the new albums wot did it. Very frustrating when others are naming airfields and you can't see them :) I use OneDrive myself - straight from the phone/scanner, then link to the image.

Maybe that last one was too easy, so something a bit more challenging that hasn't been done before. Excuse me jumping in again, but it is OH.
