I recently found a heritage site which is excellent for photographs of extinct aerodromes.

All I have available are overhead photographs, so if you do not want one of those I'll throw it open. However if you all find that acceptable then I'm ready to post.

post them up

Yer 'tis then.

paddyboy's the boy.

OH is called.

Somewhere in Africa?

Nigeria? looks bad enough

maybe not - most Nigerian strips have decent distance markings these days.........

Traffic looks to be driving on the right, so that excludes most of East & Southern Africa.

Edit to add:
Monrovia Spriggs Payne.

Sounds very much like Zaire/Congo.

Here's the next challenge

British and US flags flying - a meeting between the UK Prime Minister and a US President??? Possible a USSR flag as well - so we're maybe talking Yalta Feb 1945 - the coats would suggest a wintery day

That might be Churchill's personal C-54 or Roosevelt's C-54- the "Sacred Cow"

Churchill used both a York and eventually a C-54.............

friartuck has it in one. Welcome to the thread, look forward to your challenges.

Arriving for Yalta at Saki/Saky in Crimea Feb 1945.
Here are some more images

Great challenge nvubu and well done friartuck.

The follow up pictures of Churchill in an RAF uniform intrigued me, so I did some research.

PPRuNe to the rescue!

Eastern Europe?

A long way from E Europe.................. actually quite a long way from anywhere civilised (for a given value of civilisation)

the screen shot doesn't show that there is actually quite a bit of agriculture locally..............

Hmmm, there are parts of Russia that are 'a long way from Eastern Europe'. Somewhere in Siberia?

No, neither........ tho Imperial Valley is closer......... and they speak Spanish as well..............

Spanish - Central/South America?
