PPRuNe Forums - Which Aerodrome Mk III

The airport in Lae was operating at the same time as Nadzab but business was significantly lost when the new airport complex became fully operational in 1977. Fierce political squabbling over the pros and cons of Lae and Nadzab continued until 1982, when, in an unsolved mystery, the Lae airport terminal was burned down.

All of PNG is an unsolved mystery. And I hope it stays that way...

Interesting. Looks earth/sand but with green landscape beyond. Perhaps it's fairly newly constructed.

Europe maybe.

I will make a stab at:

Knock, EIKN

I do not believe Knock is the Knock-out.
side of turning point extension and position of taxiway do not match.
i think we can search further.

I am retired and unable to walk very far at all and my wife is away in Poland, so I have lots of time on my hands. I also had a bit of luck finding it although from the terrain I convinced myself it was Spain.

For some reason I thought Manchester, but the rising ground in the distance does not quite fit. Still somewhere in the UK though?

We are not in the UK.

Luqa as first guess, and I think I have found a photograph. Shackleton helped of course. I visited once in a Vanguard, 1971.

Jenkins gets a direct hit.

Or is it a Hastings? Thanks. My Vanguard trip was second leg of journey from Gulf to sick mother in Malta. First leg of return was, by choice, with a squadron which numbered K76 in its ranks, and was to a secret sailing club with an airfield on the South coast of England.

Now this. One from this parish lives close by, and the road was a stretch of highway between two cities in which strong vested interests fought to avoid any improvement. I confirm it as in the United Kingdom.https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....9ed91e6e92.jpg
