Not Adriatic
Not so much going on really

Out of the box and lateral.

Elisicilia I think.

What do you mean by lateral?

As in lateral thinking.

Yes lateral thinking I understand

the solving of problems by an indirect and creative approach, typically through viewing the problem in a new and unusual light.

I am most interested in your creative approach or what unusual light you have applied?

Elisilicia It is
The good weather flight test Centre of Leonardo.
Currently also guest to the flight testing of the Kopter SH09.
There is also 1 offshore platform which is being served from here.

Dook has control

I'd suspect it was the number of spots and the general professional look of the place - it certainly struck me that it might be an oil field support facility - and there aren't THAT many offshore fields in the Med ('cept off Egypt)

Rather lucky to find it. I stumbled across the hangar after Asturias led me to try Italy.

Asia? looks permanent

Neither Asturias.

Darwin/Civil? Not to be confused with the current Darwin/Winnelie. OH if correct....

Dora-9 has it.

Was known as Parap.

OH has been called.

In my defence, that photo shows it when it was used by the RAAF (notice all the huts) and I think that they referred to it as Darwin/Civil.

Seems to depend on the source - that's why I gave you the win.

No doubt some purist here will say you didn't name the aerodrome but I'm not pedantic.

From the past - but still in use I think

Looks typically RAF - lots of those designs around.

Little Snoring fits.

RAF Chalgrove is still used by Martin Baker.

The Germans obviously had a 'standard pattern' for military barrack blocks; the Hotel Kapitan in Sczcecin (which is now in Poland but was in Germany pre WW2) where I once stayed on my first visit visit to Poland is identical in design and it used to be a German Army Barracks.

Er Bedford International; better known as Cardington?
Looks like the second shed has just been moved from Howden.

It isn't Cardington.

Kingsnorth-ish?

Not there either.

Pretty sure it's RNAS Mullion.

think you are correct................ wait till 18:04..............

Is this Friedrichshafen?

Not Friedrichshafen.

24 hours has passed.

ea200 has it with RNAS Mullion. All Yours.

Thanks Dook. When I first saw it I thought Cardington, but rapidly changed my mind as it seemed too simple for one of your challenges. Little bit of research found it quickly.
Here's a seasonal one:

Never heard of RNAS Mullion but when I search on ZoomEarth it comes up just north of Preddanack; is that correct?

Yes. The Lizard peninsula on the Goonhilly Downs.

ea200,

"…….it seemed too simple for one of your challenges"

So just how do you describe yours ?

It's just West of Goonhilly. The hangar bases are still there and there is a windfarm and solar farm nearby.

Challenging I hope, but this one shouldn't be too hard if you spot the clues.

I'm looking at the building on the right.

Austria or Switzerland possibly.

Neither of those.

The forestry in the background appears to be going downhill and so does the gradient of the runway

Well spotted Harry.
