'Major river'?
I can't see one.

The river does - but not Ukraine - we're in NATO here

The spots are just bushes - I checked the pics again some seem to have grown up since the place was abandoned - see pic of it in it's heyday (sic) - I think that was bowser on the south side of the runway......

By near the river I mean within about 30 kms

I'm off to do some Christmas shopping say 15:00 Zulu

We're in Bulgaria. Toshevtsi to be more precise.

we are indeed - a rather rural spot TBH - nothing ever seems to have ever happened there..................

Cows in charge!

From my travels last week. :)

BAe Warton..?

Arabic language country,looking at the fire extinguisher sign
but not a clue further.

SLB

Even with the Arabic writing on the fire equipment, the gate 1 sign is in English. The set up still looks UK to me, if not Warton as Sycamore has suggested, how about RAE Bedford as was?

I was a contract pilot with BAe and at Warton some signs were in Arabic because of the number of middle east personnel who regularly visited.

edit: I don't think it's Warton though.

In fact I don't think we are in the UK.

Is this an ex-mil a/fld in UK....?
Does it hold a stash of ex-Russian aircraft....?
Is the fence electrified...?

T2 hangar with taller than normal doors installed for something with a tall fin.

I'm wondering if it is connected to rendition flights.

There might be a black `balloon` in there...

I fear that the hangar might indicate Royal Navy connections, but will still take a punt on Luqa.

Look left of the hangar - green trees.

Jenkins suggested Luqa but zooming on GE there's nothing like that which I can see.

I agree, just guessing.

The T2 is 'transportable' and can be moved from site to site; several T2s at Brawdy have disappeared recently.
