Nice try Sid. That looks more like some sort of road layout to me. It's not the Canaries and not anywhere else in Spain.

Thks ea, as I stated, a very long shot! Good challenge ��

I know that Tarifa in Andalusia is a big windsurfing destination, don't know if there's ever been an airfield there, though...
EDIT: Oops, sorry, you just said it was 'nowhere else in Spain'!

Maybe it's worth looking towards the East.

dook 6th Sep 2018 10:37

This challenge has been up for the best part of a week and seems to be going nowhere.

I have been trying to find it for a long time and have tried as far east as Italy.

Perhaps it is now time for a decent clue to get things moving.

ea200 6th Sep 2018 11:39

I don't disagree Dook. Italy is not far enough East and it's not in Europe.

Turkey......

I'm thinking Greece or Turkey. Long shot, Alicati, Turkey.

dook 6th Sep 2018 12:09

Greece and Turkey are European countries.

5% of Turkey is in Europe.

... and 95% isn't. :)

Smartarse. :}

It is Alıcatı which is most definitely in Asia. It shows up well on GE but I didn't want to post an overhead except as a last resort. I tried to get close enough for a ground level shot but the access road was far too rough for one of Mr Avis' finest. I discovered recently that a tender went out for a replacement for this strip and one of three tenders was accepted. A local contact tells me that it will be built in the same location but I can't help feeling there must be somewhere better. Construction will start next year.

CGB has control.

Looking at your location and the local flora, I'll start things off with a shot at Cairns?

ea200 7th Sep 2018 11:02

Seems short of lighting and too flat for Cairns. Somewhere in Africa?

dook 7th Sep 2018 11:19

It's not Cairns but it does have 24hrs customs.

friartuck 7th Sep 2018 12:32

Darwin??? ....................

mgahan 7th Sep 2018 14:00

It does have lighting but certainly not H24 customs. Certainly not Africa.

off to bed for some sleep before the rugby championship games tomorrow.

SOME MORE PICS
 
Some more pics might help.

But of more use might be a note that the terminal is being upgraded. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.gmf...72d07c0846.jpg
