Are we in the Aegean?
|
I'd say yes
|
Santorini?
|
No but it has been volcanic within the last few thousand years, tho not recently - but that covers a lot of places thereabouts..............
|
I will try Milos then. Had discounted it, but it is volcanic.
|
Altis
What you have said, it seems still to be a place of continuous fighting. |
I don't think Milos is in the Aegean, sensuo stricto. And although there's been a lot of fighting there there's also several thousand years of history - you just had to choose the right time to live there......

I haven't got a clue where it is, but I'm very intrigued!
While I'm here I suppose I'll have a wild guess... Could it be the old Rhodes airport - Maritsa I think it was called? |
Lemnos? OH if correct.
|
|
You can call it an alternate truth or a parallel universe but in the shooter game Arma 3
it is 2036 and there is an island state Altis almost completely modeled after Lemnos. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....aaf409eec.jpeg |
More customers at Lemnos but better gardeners at Altis
|
It is difficult to model scrub and weed and by leaving it out it saves on your digitized Garderner.
I do not how to shoot with a PlayStation pad or keyboard I just ran into it when searching for the geographical feature which is probably the salt lake? |
Ok Lemnos or Limnos it is - "Hephaestus International" (IATA: LXS, ICAO: LGLM) - he was the Greek God of Metallurgy who was thrown (physically by Zeus) out of Olympus and landed here - no information on type of approach
V good beaches and one of Europe's only two deserts. MaxTow wins and has declared OH |
|
Chelveston?
|
Sorry Chevvron - it's not Chelveston.
|
Coming to rest in the trees of an Estate some five miles from the Aerodrome.............

East Wretham then?
|
Chevvron I fear it is not East Wretham......

Is it Old Buckenham?
|
Good try teusje but not Old Buckenham.
|
This is not the mystery aerodrome. However if you follow the extended centre line south-west from the point marked on the runway you will come across the site of the First War Aerodrome that we are looking for. Alternatively you could take the train. Sort of a bonus !

|
Bit bucolic....................
|
Indeed but it's more than one a day..... surely you must be near our destination?
|
RFC Harling road SW of Old Buckenham.
|
Well Done SLB ! Harling Road it is. (Two miles south-west of Snetterton Airfield as imaged). RFC/RAF 1916 - 1920. Flying then ceased. American Forces Supply Depot WW11. Rumours of C47 Operations post-D-Day.

Thanks OUAQUKGF!
Again a very interesting challenge with a beautiful string of photos. My challenges are usually somewhat easier: This photo where the sun conveniently hides some details. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....a637fc71b.jpeg |
Could it be Nausori - Fiji ?
|
Looks a bit chiily for tropics!
Sweden? |
Doesn't look quite right for Nausori - I think the terminal building runs in front of the tower
|
The Nausori terminal is also much bigger.
Sweden is the better bet. ( It also has more airports to choose from) https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....b6f2ae7fb.jpeg |
Ok - not a major airport but not a really small place either
Somewhere like Torsby? |
I would say Hagfors.
|
Asturias, you where only an inch away from victory, if I would have chosen the other picture from the same article of a Dutch website.
AIS Airlines resumes operation But Teusje has it with Hagfors! https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....5248e1c46.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....9c635d84b.jpeg |
